<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.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.
$email = new CkEmail();
$email->put_Subject('This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat.');
$email->put_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.
$sbMime = new CkStringBuilder();
$email->GetMimeSb($sbMime);
$sbMime->Encode('base64url','utf-8');

// The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..
$json = new CkJsonObject();
$json->UpdateSb('message.raw',$sbMime);

// Upload the email to GMail as a draft.
$http = new CkHttp();
$http->put_AuthToken('GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN');

$url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/drafts';
// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson3($url,'application/json',$json);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// A status code of 200 indicates success.
print 'Response status code: ' . $resp->get_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"
//   ]
//  }
// }
