Contact Importer

Does anyone know about Webmail contact importer scripts (ColdFusion, PHP, etc.) similar to those used on Twitter and LinkedIn? I found something, but they get paid for it, and I want some more to order and open.

To clarify a little more, I'm not looking for a way to handle .csv files :) I'm looking for some code that can go into gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol mail and pull out the user address of the book.

Do you really execute the method when a user enters his username and password into his site, and then your site shuts down and receives contact information with this account? If so, that sounds like a gang of worms to me, and this is what our own Mr. Atwood recalls ./p>

I would go with something that answered Eugene.

(I would just comment on this question, but my sad reputation is bothering me ...)

You will most likely need to use a library that can go into all of these services and access your contact lists in your own format and extract them in one format.

In other news, the PHP / Curl book seems to have all done this for $ 25 per book. I would suspect that the code in PHP, it will be approximately half with Coldfusion.

What format is used for contact list? If CSV, then you can record it in 1 minute ...

$data = file('list.csv'); $contacts = array(); foreach ($data AS $entry) { $contacts[] = explode($separator, $entry); // usually separator is ';' }

add error handling here and name the fields after the explosion - and that is!

What format is used for contact list? If CSV, then you can record it in 10 seconds ...

 <cfhttp url = "http://localhost/list.csv" name = "Contacts" />

And it processes all the names of screens and columns for you, providing a convenient convenient query for work.
