How to access the thunderbird's address book.
I am writing a script that send a file by e-mail, and I would like to
select e-mail adresses from thunderbird. Is there a way to do this either
in php or in perl.
Many thanks in advances
Andre

No. PHP runs on the server. The address book is on the client. Server
scripts cannot access resources on the client.
And for security reasons, not even a client-side language such as
javascript can access it.

Bearing in mind Jerry's caveat that you can't do this from a website
to a client at all, you can have a script on your machine, running php
there, to read your own Mozilla address boo. The file format that the
mozilla address books are in is a Mork file database, which is a very
elaborate text format that can be easily parse into data sturctures.
There's parser libraries for perl, python, c++ but not yet for php. Some
details of the format can be found at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mork .

If you've got the luxury to kvetch about having to reinstall software or
do yardwork, life's okay.

You sound like you could be a spammer who has discovered that thunderbird/
firefox, unlike outlook / explorer, does not allow your trojan scripts to
raid address books from the web browser and send out your spam emails.
Why should we exercise ourselves to help you find a way around this
commendable security feature?

I should have told that, I run a linux server with apache, php, mysql and
I also use it as my own pc with thunderbird, an firefox.
Many thanks for the answers.
