Hello,
I am developing an application which helps manage payroll. I need to
import this data into Quickbooks. I am generating the data/file using
PHP, and am wondering which formats I should look into? I tried
searching the web for how to export to Quickbooks, but I can't seem to
find any good information on how to do this. I would greatly
appreciate any help, or if anyone can point me to a specifications
document of some sort.

Thanks in advance!

The forums at http://idnforums.intuit.com/ have lots of information
on using the QB SDK. And there are extensive documentation and
samples included when you install the SDK.

However, you may be disappointed trying to push payroll
data into QB. Lots of restrictions to protect the cow. I suggest
searching the forums on "payroll" and "paycheck" before
anything else. Could save you a lot of wasted effort.

Good luck!
