<?php

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Email')
$email = new COM("Chilkat.Email");

// The From name/address don't need to be specified. 
// GMail will automatically use your Gmail address if the following 2 lines are omitted.
$email->FromName = 'My Name';
$email->FromAddress = 'my_account_name@gmail.com';

$email->AddTo('John Smith','somebody@somewhere.com');
// To add more recipients, make additional calls to AddTo or AddCC, one per recipient...

$email->Subject = 'This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat.';
$email->Charset = 'utf-8';
$email->AddPlainTextAlternativeBody('This is a test');

// Create an HTML email body with an embedded image.
$cid = $email->addRelatedFile('qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg');
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')
$sbHtml = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$sbHtml->Append('<html><body>This is a <b>test</b><br><img src=\'cid:STARFISH_CID\'/></body></html>');
$numReplacements = $sbHtml->Replace('STARFISH_CID',$cid);

$email->AddHtmlAlternativeBody($sbHtml->getAsString());

// OK.. we now have an HTML email with an embedded JPG image
// We'll need to get the full MIME of the email encoded to a base64url string.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.StringBuilder')
$sbMime = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$email->GetMimeSb($sbMime);
$sbMime->Encode('base64url','utf-8');

// The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->UpdateSb('raw',$sbMime);

// Send the email...
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");
$http->AuthToken = 'GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN';

$url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send';
// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson3($url,'application/json',$json);

    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// A status code of 200 indicates success.
print 'Response status code: ' . $resp->StatusCode . "\n";
print 'Response body:' . "\n";
print $resp->BodyStr . "\n";

// The response body contains JSON.
// Use the online tool at Generate JSON Parsing Code
// to generate JSON parsing code.

// A sample successful JSON response:

// {
//  "id": "166f0d4ac39e50bf",
//  "threadId": "166f0d4ac39e50bf",
//  "labelIds": [
//   "SENT"
