read contents of .pst file with php

Question

Is it possible to somehow use PHP to read the contents of a .pst file?

Answer 1

I am not aware of a library that does this. Your best bet would be to use the COM extension.

Answer 2

There's a standalone program to convert PST to other formats (which may be then readable using PHP extensions, e.g. php_imap): http://www.five-ten-sg.com/libpst/

However, as Microsoft keeps changing the PST format, it's not guaranteed that you'll be able to convert all PST files.
