<?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");
$email->Subject = 'This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat.';
$email->Charset = 'utf-8';
$email->AddPlainTextAlternativeBody('This is a test');
$email->AddHtmlAlternativeBody('<html><body><p>This is a <b>test</b></body></html>');

// 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");
$json->UpdateSb('message.raw',$sbMime);

// Upload the email to GMail as a draft.
// 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/drafts';
// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson3($url,'application/json',$json);
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    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": "r-2607584557788895307",
//  "message": {
//   "id": "166f09932c662e93",
//   "threadId": "166f09932c662e93",
//   "labelIds": [
//    "DRAFT"
//   ]
//  }
// }
