Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?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.

// See Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App 
// for sample code showing how to obtain a Yahoo Mail access token.

// In this example, our access token was previously saved to the following file which contains JSON like this:
// {
//   "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
//   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
//   "expires_in": 3600,
//   "token_type": "bearer",
//   "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"
// }
