Addresses from Apple Addressbook cannot be parsed about vcard-parser HOT 5 CLOSED

The example you posted is not in the vCard-Format. Have a look at the vCard-Format here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard

from vcard-parser.

Unfortunately, Apple Addressbook produces exactly such vCards. I've exported a vCard, opened it in TextEdit and got this:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//Address Book 6.1.2//EN
N:lastname;firstname;;;
FN:firstname lastname
item1.ADR;type=WORK;type=pref:;;street;city;;zip;country
item1.X-ABADR:de
CATEGORIES:Default Address Book,CategoryXY
UID:b1341197-52bb-4c6a-8d2a-9e9c4d3b570f
X-ABUID:28E7998F-D09C-4233-B268-4FA8173174E7:ABPerson
END:VCARD

Ok, i see the problem. Apple Adressbook uses Groups for some Properties.
Seems to be OK according to this RCF: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-3.3

from vcard-parser.

Little bit of dirty code helps me solving the problem

// loop each group of addresses (i have only 2 addresses in one vcard)
for ($i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) {

    // get field identifier. $single_vcard is our vCard Object
    $address_field = "item$i.ADR";
    $address_raw = $single_vcard -> $address_field;

    // get raw address informations
    $address = $address_raw[0]['Value'];

    // call a vCard function to parse raw address informations to an array with semantic keys
    $address = vCard::ParseStructuredValue($address,'adr');

    // get first type value (work, home, office, ...), cause we dont need the "pref" value, that apples addressbook create
    $type = $address_raw[0]['Type'][0];

    // save vars to array
    $contacts["address_$i"]['address_type'] = $type;
    $contacts["address_$i"]['address_street'] = $address['StreetAddress'];
    $contacts["address_$i"]['address_zip'] = $address['PostalCode'];
    $contacts["address_$i"]['address_city'] = $address['Locality'];
    $contacts["address_$i"]['address_country'] = $address['Country'];
}

I made some changes so that those itemized elements aren't completely ignored so it is now possible to get that data, too. However those Apple Address Book extensions aren't supported and are ignored for now (the elements starting with X-AB...)
