Jan Schneider has this new post today with a pointer to a HOWTO on "Using Horde from a custom website or application".

"Using Horde from a custom website or application" explains how to call API methods in Horde or one of the Horde applications from a PHP script that is not part of Horde itself. The howto contains several code examples and also shows how to embed complete HTML snippets into larger web site pages.

The code examples are pure PHP solutions, though one could interface with Horde through SOAP, XMLRPC, and REST too, using exactly the same API methods. But that might be stuff for another howto.

The HOWTO itself is relatively simple, provided you've worked a bit with some of the Horde stuff. Thankfully, all of the code that you'll need for the addition is right there, ready for you to cut and paste (and modify)...
