I don't know if I am asking this at the right place or not but I have an interesting question.

So, my work schedule is connected to an XML file that feeds into a PHP file. I don't have access or can't find what the actual XML file is.

Here is where I am curious about some things. I would like to be able to either find that XML or find a way that I can create an XML file or ICS file from a php url. Does that make sense?

Basically, I would like to turn: http://rq4.myprimeportal.com/xml_employee_schedule.php?eid=7794

into an XML or ICS that I can use to grab my work schedule from. Is this possible?

Can I create a file that pulls the contents from that file into my own file?

I appreciate your help! I hope this all makes sense. Thank you!

  • ``. there you go, one php script that outputs ICS. – Marc B Jul 10 '15 at 16:41
  • Thank you for your reply! So, how can I use that? Would I create a new php file on my personal host (bluehost) and paste that? How would I get the contents from my employers php file to load in mine? I am sorry, I'm a little new to coding like this. :) Thank you for your help! – Timothy Gothra Jul 10 '15 at 16:46
  • Can I create a PHP file that pulls the data from this URL http://rq4.myprimeportal.com/xml_employee_schedule.php?eid=7794 and then in the PHP that I create put in the string that you gave me? – Timothy Gothra Jul 10 '15 at 16:55

  • Awesome! Thank you hakre! I was able to create the file with mirrored data! Now, in order for me to output to an ics file, do I add the string that Marc B gave? – Timothy Gothra Jul 10 '15 at 17:45
  • I see that my employers original file is text/xml. After I run the script that HAKRE gave me, how would I then convert it to text/calendar? Maybe I am in way over my head. Sorry for novice questions everyone. – Timothy Gothra Jul 10 '15 at 18:42
  • Yes, you're asking for everything without dividing. That's too much at once. Either *[How do you parse and process HTML/XML in PHP?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/3577641/367456)* or *[How can I use PHP to dynamically publish an ical file to be read by Google Calendar?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1463480/367456)* (or similar). Please see these existing questions which are on site already. There is no need to ask the same questions all over again as new postings here, just re-use the existing material that has grown over time. – hakre Jul 10 '15 at 21:18
