This packages includes an PHP example how information which are stored and managed by an Open-Xchange Server can be easily used within a PHP app. What is Open-Xchange? A groupware/collaboration solution, written in Java, which is available as an Open Source version, a hosting version and a standalone/inhouse version. Is this the best implementation? For an one hour quick hack IMHO yes. Another approach would be to avoid the JSON protocol and to make it easier for PHP developers. The Open-Xchange server has the ability to create and add individual servlets. With some efforts a developer could create a serialized PHP string which can be directly used in PHP by using the command: $phpobj = unserialize($response); Both approaches have the charm that a remote PHP application can work/display Open-Xchange objects and content. If you find this helpful and you have comments, suggestions, optimizations or own implementations based on the given code do not hesitate to contact me.
