Generate and send ICS file through WordPress
I'm writing a custom plugin for reservations. I need to generate an .ics file that needs to be sent to a predefined email address.
I've tried some library like ZContent iCalendar and a PHP script that I found on github that I've included inside my plugin code. The script works well and I can obtain a valid output. The problem is I can't figure out how to generate the ics file and attach it to an email using the wp_mail function.
Here is my code:
?php
/**
* ICS.php
* =======
* Use this class to create an .ics file.
*
* Usage
* -----
* Basic usage - generate ics file contents (see below for available properties):
* $ics = new ICS($props);
* $ics_file_contents = $ics-to_string();
*
* Setting properties after instantiation
* $ics = new ICS();
* $ics-set('summary', 'My awesome event');
*
* You can also set multiple properties at the same time by using an array:
* $ics-set(array(
* 'dtstart' = 'now + 30 minutes',
* 'dtend' = 'now + 1 hour'
* ));
*
* Available properties
* --------------------
* description
* String description of the event.
* dtend
* A date/time stamp designating the end of the event. You can use either a
* DateTime object or a PHP datetime format string (e.g. "now + 1 hour").
* dtstart
* A date/time stamp designating the start of the event. You can use either a
* DateTime object or a PHP datetime format string (e.g. "now + 1 hour").
* location
* String address or description of the location of the event.
* summary
* String short summary of the event - usually used as the title.
* url
* A url to attach to the the event. Make sure to add the protocol (http://
* or https://).
