Updating event attendees...

[c4ncel]

This is similiar to issue #55

I can create a meeting with required attendees

    $requiredAttendees = array();
    foreach($users as $user) { 
        $requiredAttendees[] = array('Mailbox' => array('EmailAddress' => $user));
    }
    $request['RequiredAttendees'] = $requiredAttendees;
    $invites = 'SendToAllAndSaveCopy';

. . $createdItemIds = $calendar->createCalendarItems($request, array('SendMeetingInvitations' => $invites));

Invites go to attendees and and the event is added to their calendars.

But passing an array like this with an updated list of attendees (removing one) to updateCalendarItem fails with :

Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'Attendee' property in /srv/www/htdocs/exchange/vendor/garethp/php-ews/src/API/NTLMSoapClient.php:122

But if I change the array structure to this,

$requiredAttendees[] = array('Attendee' => array('Mailbox' => array('EmailAddress' => $email)));

the update call generates no error, but the (removed) attendees don't get an updated event email even if 'SendMeetingInvitationsOrCancellations' => 'SendOnlyToAll' and their copy of the event is out of sync.

This array structure, with 'Attendee' defined in the create call fails with :

Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'Mailbox' property in /srv/www/htdocs/exchange/vendor/garethp/php-ews/src/API/NTLMSoapClient.php:122

So there are 2 problems here really...

You are not handling a correct structure. Check the changes in the code below.

$attendees = array();
foreach($users as $user) { 
   $attendees [] = array('mailbox' => array('emailAddress' => $user));
}
$request['RequiredAttendees'] = $attendees ;
$invites = 'SendToAllAndSaveCopy';

I was getting my definition from

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633661(v=exchg.80).aspx and

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn495610(v=exchg.150).aspx#Anchor_3

           <t:RequiredAttendees>
              <t:Attendee>
                 <t:Mailbox>
                    <t:EmailAddress>[email protected]</t:EmailAddress>
                 </t:Mailbox>
              </t:Attendee>
              <t:Attendee>
                 <t:Mailbox>
                    <t:EmailAddress>[email protected]</t:EmailAddress>
                 </t:Mailbox>
              </t:Attendee>
           </t:RequiredAttendees>

specifically the XML (SOAP) which has Mailbox and EmailAddress. I think it should look like :

foreach($users as $user) { $attendees[] = array('Attendee' => array('Mailbox' => array('EmailAddress' => $user))); } $request['RequiredAttendees'] = $attendees; but that throws an error when using it to create a meeting and has no effect when using it to update a meeting.

change this $attendees[] = array('Attendee' => array('Mailbox' => array('EmailAddress' => $user))); for this $attendees [] = array('mailbox' => array('emailAddress' => $user));

Hope this help.
