// This example assumes 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");

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl --request POST \
//   --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send \
//   --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
//   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
//   --data '{"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "recipient@example.com", "name": "Recipient Name"}]}],"from": {"email": "sendeexampexample@example.com"},"subject": "Hello, World!","content": [{"type": "text/plain", "value": "Heya!"}]}'

// Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
// Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

// Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
// Generate Code to Create JSON

// The following JSON is sent in the request body.

// {
//   "personalizations": [
//     {
//       "to": [
//         {
//           "email": "recipient@example.com",
//           "name": "Recipient Name"
//         }
//       ]
//     }
//   ],
//   "from": {
//     "email": "sendeexampexample@example.com"
//   },
//   "subject": "Hello, World!",
//   "content": [
//     {
//       "type": "text/plain",
//       "value": "Heya!"
//     }
//   ]
// }

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->UpdateString('personalizations[0].to[0].email','recipient@example.com');
// The "name" is optional.

$json->UpdateString('content[0].value','Heya!');

// Adds the "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" header.
$http->AuthToken = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$http->SetRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse

    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
}
else {
    print 'response status code: ' . $resp->StatusCode . "\n";
    // Display the response.
    // If successful, the response code is 202 and the response body string is empty.
    // (The response body string may also be empty for error response codes.)
