   I am delighted with your program, but…
   Online it works fine.
   On my computer I get the error:
   ‘.$GLOBALS['error_msg'].”\n”; ?>
   Instead the converted testfile it gives a index.php file.
   I use Apple G4, OsX10.4.8, Firefox 1.5.0.9
   Probably it must run on a server.

   Hi Joost, the program is not mine, I simply linked to it. I uploaded my file and it worked fine. Good luck - Callum.

   The page states below th online convert form:

   “You can also download the script and run it locally. All you need is a shell with PHP installed.”

   Shell means Terminal and PHP means PHP environment.

   Maybe an additional local MAMP installation could help here if the information is too confident.

   Nice but not perfect. E.g. it will swallow postbox and extended address. It will also not extract uncommon tags like TITLE or GEO.

   My own page (http://www.tomota.de) should do a better job in converting. If you are just interested in learning more about parsing vcards I propose to have a look at the evolution-server source code.

    @Nick: If you don’t know where to get a shell with PHP, I’d suggest you upload your file and let their site do the conversion for you.

    Thank you for the help converting my iPod contacts file to my Outlook Express address book. I searched for quite some time to make it happen, to no avail. That is until I tried your converter. I had to figure out what format to convert it to, but that took a whole 3 minutes. Then, poof…it worked great. Thanks again.

    Glad it worked for you. Just to be clear, the script is not mine, it’s a provided by brotherli.ch.

    If you have to go back the other way vcf ( vcard ) to csv for like gmail or something use this site which has both.

    http://www.vcf2csv.com/

    Also the javascript converter at the bottom is the only one I’ve found to accept multiple record vcf files which is what OS X’s Address Book creates. Outlook can’t handle this format even though it conforms to vcard standards, so you’d have to import an address book db as a collated csv actually.

    you can also use this site by simply uploading your vcf file and choosing your desired output. two step process and works great.

    I can’t believe people are happily putting all of their private data into a webpage with no thought of the risks involved.

    Anyone know of an easy to use application that can be downloaded?
