The PHP Exchange Web Services library (php-ews) is intended to make communication with Microsoft Exchange servers using Exchange Web Services easier. It handles the NTLM authentication required to use the SOAP services and provides an object-oriented interface to the complex types required to form a request.
This is a forked version of the original GitHub project at jamesiarmes/php-ews to bring Composer installation, namespaces and PSR-0 autoloading of classes.
- Composer
- PHP 5.4 or greater
- cURL with NTLM support (7.23.0+ recommended)
- Exchange 2007 or 2010*
*Note: Not all operations or request elements are supported on Exchange 2007.
The prefered installation method is via Composer, which will automatically handle autoloading of classes.
{
"require": {
"php-ews/php-ews": "dev-master"
}
}The library can be used to make several different request types. In order to make a request, you need to instantiate a new �ExchangeWebServices object:
use PhpEws\EwsConnection;
$ews = new EwsConnection($server, $username, $password, $version);The EwsConnection class takes four parameters for its constructor:
$server: The url to the exchange server you wish to connect to, without the protocol. Example: mail.example.com. If you have trouble determing the correct url, you could try using thePhpEws\AutodiscoveryManagerclass.$username: The user to connect to the server with. This is usually the local portion of the users email address. Example: "user" if the email address is "[email protected]".$password: The user's plain-text password.$version(optional): The version of the Exchange sever to connect to. Valid values can be found atEwsConnection::VERSION_*. Defaults to Exchange 2007.
Once you have your EwsConnection object, you need to build your request object. The type of object depends on the operation you are calling. If you are using an IDE with code completion it should be able to help you determine the correct classes to use using the provided docblocks.
The request objects are build similar to the XML body of the request. See the resources section below for more information on building the requests.
