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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Use your previously obtained access token here:
// See the following examples for getting an access token:
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$jsonToken = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$success = $jsonToken->LoadFile('qa_data/tokens/microsoftGraph.json');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $jsonToken->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$http->AuthToken = $jsonToken->stringOf('access_token');

// To send email, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
// 
// POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
// 
// (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
// 

// The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
// recipients, etc.  This example will build the following JSON email:
// 

// 	{
// 	  "message": {
// 	    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
// 	    "body": {
// 	      "contentType": "Text",
// 	      "content": "The new cafeteria is open."
// 	    },

// 	      {
// 	        "emailAddress": {
// 		  "name": "Chilkat Software",
// 	          "address": "admin@chilkat.io"
// 	        }
// 	      },
// 	      {
// 	        "emailAddress": {
// 	          "address": "chilkat.support@gmail.com"
// 	        }
// 	      }
// 	    ],

// 	        "emailAddress": {
// 		  "name": "Chilkat Blog",
// 		  "address": "admin@cknotes.com"
// 	        }
// 	      }
// 	    ]
// 	  },
// 	  "saveToSentItems": true
// 	}
// 

// Build the above JSON.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
