In this video, you’ll learn how to create an .ics import file using PHP. This allows you to dynamically generate the .ics file based on stored event data. Users can then download the file and import the event information in their calendar of choice… Outlook, Thunderbird(Lightning), Apple Calendar, etc.
I’ll show you what I learned over the last 15 years to grind out (from absolute scratch) a backlog of new clients wanting to hire you. Who your best client prospect are, what services you should be offering them, where to find them and more. Just enter your email address in the box below and let’s get started:

On the Freelancing on Upwork course: “This is by far the best course i have watched on Skillshare!! Thank you so much.”
John is one of the best instructors I have come across, I learned a lot from his online tutorials.
Not only is John a very talented programmer and developer, he is also an excellent communicator. He has a talent for taking complex subjects and communicating them in terms that anyone can understand. This is a rare combination. This ability has enabled me to take my skills and knowledge to the next level. Thank you John for for all that you do.
John is amazing at building membership sites. He converted one of my sites over from it’s existing (hardly working) platform over to the clean and simple to use WishList membership platform. I highly recommend using John and WishList for any of your membership site needs.
I recommend John every chance I get. If every person I worked with were as committed to excellence, punctuality, value, and unquestionable integrity… the world would be a better place. Highest recommendation.
John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

8 Aug 2013This is just what I needed! Changed the quote just a bit to make the calendar date 30 days in the future from when ever they opened it. Just wondering…do you have any idea how to add a reminder alert into the ics file?

3 Dec 2013Thanks, this just helped me a ton! Surprising how little documentation there is out there on how to create an ICS, at least with PHP/Wordpress, so this was a huge help.

24 Mar 2014Thanks, your code saved me a lot of searching. Just thought Id add this to let you know its still relevant and useful.
I used bits of your code to solve a number of problems I ran into getting a silly little .ics file to work and as a php novice it was good to have the video to watch as well.
Thanks.
