Google Calendar / Exchange / Outlook Web Access sync

Question

So what I am trying to do is add two strings together in the form of military time. Here is the example.

Time1 = "01:00"; Time2 = "04:30";

Adding the two together would produce "05:30". This seems incredibly simple, but it has been a long long day for a new learner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution 1

Try davmail - it allows access to your exchange calendar via ical. The way I use it :

• configure davmail with my corporate outlook
• In thunderbird (I am to TB3 beta) , create a calendar (iCal) which points to the davmail configuration

Now, I can access outlook via thunderbird.

Not sure if this solves your problem, as it does not by default "syncs" to google etc.

Solution 2

You may want to look into Google Calendar Sync.
I use it to sync my Google Calendar with my Outlook at work. I do not know if it works with the Web Access variant of Outlook, though.

Well forget formatting or saying military time. Given the example, how would you take Time1 and Time2 and add it together to get "05:30". Doing the simple addition just rounds the number, which isn't what I need.

I was going to ask same question, but with some picture on it :P theemailadmin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/…

Doesn't work through web access as far as I can tell. It needs a proper Outlook install.

And say my host hasn't update to 5.3? Any suggestions (Beyond the obvious of switching hosts!)

@Brian I've added solutions for PHP 5.2.

You sir, are fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. I honestly spent a good 45 minutes on Google searching to no end. Much appreciated.

So I just went to implement this - The addition part works great. If I use that code exactly how it is written for say '13:45' + '02:30' the code produces '16:15'. However, if I use subtraction, the result is off by one hour. For example, '13:45' - '02:30' produces '12:15'. It is the same code you have above but with a MINUS symbol rather than PLUS. Any ideas?

@Brian No, it's echo date("H:i", strtotime("-2 hours -30 mins", strtotime("13:45")));. The + sign actually has no effect.

Don't know 1 year ago how was davmail, but today it does solve the op's problem full featured! ;)
