Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] vtodo

hello!
well, perhaps we should leave the parser code alone... it wouldn't hurt
my feelings. I was just looking for an easy way to get the data into a
database.
I was really stuggling with ical_parser.php trying to figure out how to
implement the vtodo. I suppose it was just too complicated for me (I AM
pretty much an uneducated hack). plus i have only been familiar with
this project for a little while....
my current parser code now supports VALARM and VTODO records, and should
be compatible with the other phpicalendar scripts. additionally, it
should be compatible with mozilla, outlook and apple ics files.
I think I can reduce my code about another 100 lines. Currently there is
a lot of duplication going on because I wasn't sure about how to store
the VTODOs etc.
right now it sticks the alarms in master_array[-3] and the todos in
master_array[-2], using the suggestions made by jared and bill fenner.
I want to build a monster ics file, and time the thing. also - set my
php.ini file for low memory allocation, and give it some good testing.
here is a sample of the master_array it creates:

a couple of things. I don't remove the \n from the descriptions because
i would prefer to change these to <br> tags in the output, would look
nicer.
i added some extra pieces of information to the array. if it doesn't
work with the other scripts they will need to be removed, however i
don't foresee any problem.
attached is my latest file. please review at your convenience. i
appreciate all comments and criticisms!
thanks and best

I'm not sure why we would need to re-write the parser, as its pretty
well tested at this point. Jared and I have already started cleaning up
and tweeking the file for more speed and flexability, trimming over 200
lines this morning.
It should just be altered to handle the vtodo, which is fairly simple.
I agree with Dre on placing it in the master array as [-2]. I don't see
though that it has a date attached specifically, they just appear in
iCal no matter the date they were created. Not sure how mozilla handles
these.
