LIV. MCAL Functions
介绍
MCAL stands for Modular Calendar Access Library.
Libmcal is a C library for accessing calendars. It's written to be very modular, with pluggable drivers. MCAL is the calendar equivalent of the IMAP module for mailboxes.
With mcal support, a calendar stream can be opened much like the mailbox stream with the IMAP support. Calendars can be local file stores, remote ICAP servers, or other formats that are supported by the mcal library.
Calendar events can be pulled up, queried, and stored. There is also support for calendar triggers (alarms) and recurring events.
With libmcal, central calendar servers can be accessed, removing the need for any specific database or local file programming.
Most of the functions use an internal event structure that is unique for each stream. This alleviates the need to pass around large objects between functions. There are convenience functions for setting, initializing, and retrieving the event structure values.
注: 该扩展已经从 PHP 5 中移出，然后移入到 PECL 仓库中。
注: PHP had an ICAP extension previously, but the original library and the PHP extension is not supported anymore. The suggested replacement is MCAL.
注: 该扩展模块不适用于 Windows 平台！
需求
This extension requires the mcal library to be installed. Grab the latest version from http://mcal.chek.com/ and compile and install it.
安装
After you installed the mcal library, to get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP -with-mcal[=DIR].
预定义常量
由于这些常量是由该扩展模块定义的，因此只有在该扩展模块被编译到 PHP 中，或者在运行时被动态加载后，这些常量才有效。
