Although you don't say what platform you want to do this on, presumably
it is a Windows OS and you want to run it on the client that has MS
Outlook installed.

Your best bet is to use VBScript directly to access MS Outlook methods
and properties. See MSDN for details. You could drive a VBScript from
PHP but I don't see what value it would have to add this extra layer.
Alternatively you could use PHP's COM extensions to do the same job -
see previous comp.lang.php threads on that topic.
