Access Exchange Web Services with PHP and cURL

Question

Hello,

I am currently writing a client to access a Microsoft Exchange server and read contacts, appointments etc. from it.

Through days of searching I\'ve be

If you initialize your soap client properly, you should be able to preform any requests requests this way:

$curl = curl_init($location); //'https://'.$server_address.'/EWS/Exchange.asmx'
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); //valid soap headers with keep-alive
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$password);
$response = curl_exec($curl);

As to your code, try commenting out following line:

curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM );

Also take a look wherever this wrapper works on your setup: http://ewswrapper.lafiel.net/ If it does, take a look at SOAP classes used there - it uses php built-in as base.

Why can't you store wsdl file locally anyways?

UPDATE:

Ok, I played around with this in my Debian box and this works for me flawlessly:

$domain = 'xxxxxx';
$user = 'xxxxxx';
$password = 'xxxxxx';
$ch = curl_init('https://'.$domain.'/EWS/Services.wsdl'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.':'.$password);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo( $ch );
$error =  curl_error ($ch);
print_r(array($response,$info,$error));

returns
