A PHP library (eluceo/ical) that provides an abstraction layer for generating iCalendar (.ics) files compliant with RFC 5545. It uses domain objects for events, calendars, and time zones that are transformed into iCalendar output without requiring knowledge of the underlying format.

Use cases

• generate ics calendar files in php
• create calendar event downloads for a website
• export events as iCalendar rfc 5545
• build .ics files without learning the iCalendar spec
• serve calendar subscriptions from a php app
• add event reminders and alarms to generated calendars

When to choose

• you need to generate .ics files from PHP applications
• you want a domain-object API instead of hand-writing RFC 5545 syntax
• you need time zone support or Apple structured locations in calendar output

When to avoid

• you need full RFC 5545 coverage such as VTODO, VJOURNAL, VFREEBUSY, or recurrence rules (rrule)
• you need to parse or read existing .ics files rather than create them
• your project is not PHP
