I am in a situation where I want to send email with iCal attachment to Outlook Calendar and I want to set reminder to 120 minutes before start event.
I send RAW message with iCal(see below).
If recipient opens the message, event is automatically added to outlook calendar, but reminder is set to 15 minutes(default in outlook), even if I set different value in VALARM.
If I use ics file with iCal to import to Outlook Calendar then reminder is set to my value.
I would really appreciate help on this. How to set reminder for event?

I think there is nothing wrong with your code. Most calendar clients will ignore any alarm that is sent along with an invitation. When you think about it, this makes sense: if you invite me, I may want to accept or decline, but you should not dictate when I want to be notified.
On the other hand, when importing, you are making those events your own.
Change METHOD:REQUEST to METHOD:PUBLISH. Also change your other method code at the bottom from method=REQUEST to method=PUBLISH.

I have been looking for a mailform script and came up with his. Works fine, but just this matter: when I reply to the received email, I am replying to myself, whilst I would like to reply automatically to the mailadres of the sender.

What should I change in this code, please?
I added these (seperately):
$headers .= "From: Contact Form (Domain.com) <no-reply#domain.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$_REQUEST['email']."<". $_REQUEST['email'].">\r\n"
But none seem to work. I got this code to work with and all good, except for the reply-to.
When I execute the following code, I get proper response options (accept, reject) in Microsoft Exchange Server & Gmail (web). However, outlook.com / hotmail and iphone mail app either only see the ics attachment or in the case of hotmail (web app) only see message body.
I have an idea it has something to do with the escape characters \r\n but I would greatly appreciate some help here!

When I send a mail with PHP it displays correct in Gmail but not in Outlook. It's a mail with a PDF attachment and some text. The PDF is created with fpdf and sent as an attachment, this works fine in Gmail and Outlook.
The only problem there is, in Gmail the text of the emails is displayed correctly and in Outlook it's just a blank page and the text is an extra attachment.
Here is my code:
// encode data
$pdfdoc = $pdf->Output("", "S");
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode($pdfdoc));
// email stuff (change data below)
$to = $contactEmail;
$from = $myEmail;
$subject = "MySubjectHere";

I have a webform that generates a PDF which is emailed to me upon submission but the email keeps getting filtered to the spam for folder. I suspect that the something is wrong in the email header but not sure what it could be.
Any help is appreciated.
The following is a snippet...
// send by email
$fileatt = '../pdfs/'.$filename;
$fileatt_type = mime_content_type_manual($fileatt); // File Type "application/pdf"
$fileatt_name = $filename; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment
$email_from = "auth#mysite.com"; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = "Auth Report"; // The Subject of the email
//$email_to = "info#mysite.com";
$email_to = "info#mysite.com";
$headers = "From: ".$email_from;
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$email_message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$email_message .= "\n\n";
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data .= "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
If you add the sender of the email, which is auth#mysite.com for your case, as a new contact to the address book of your email client, then the email won't probably be marked as spam as it comes from a member of your contact address book.
After trying to read various articles on sending emails with attachments in PHP (I am use to ASP with VBScript), I wrote the code below. Unfortunately, it does not work at all. Not only does it not send the email with the attachment, the email doesn't seem to send at all, even though my script says that it did send. Where have I gone wrong? I'm not using a form to upload a file. This is a static script.

i think you have an error in your email content,
generate your email content with imap_mail_compose function:
mail('', 'message subject', '', imap_mail_compose(array header, array body));
