Get Gmail Contacts

[The Little Guy]

I am writing a google contact API to get users contacts, I get everything back except for the email address of the contact.

 

Anyone know how to get the contacts email address?

 

<?php
class gdata{
private $headers;
private $googleAuth = 'http://www.google.com/m8/feeds';
private $google = 'http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full';
public $token;
public function headers(){
	$this->headers['GData-Version'] = '3.0';
	$this->headers['Authorization'] = "AuthSub token=\"$this->token\"";
	$this->headers['Content-Type'] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
	$this->headers['Host'] = "www.google.com";
	$this->headers['User-Agent'] = "php/".phpversion();
	$this->headers['Accept'] = "text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2";
	$this->headers['Connection'] = "keep-alive";
}
public function request_contacts($email){
	$ch = curl_init();
	$headers = array();
	foreach($this->headers as $k => $v){
		$headers[] = "$k: $v";
	}
	$url = preg_replace("/\[email_address\]/", $email, $this->google);
	echo $url;
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->google);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
	$opt = curl_exec($ch);
	$xml = simplexml_load_string($opt);
	header("Content-type: text/plain");
	foreach($xml->entry as $user){
		//echo $user['link']
	}
	print_r($xml->entry[5]);
}
public function auth(){
	$next =  'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?a=getContacts';
	header("Location: https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest?next=".urlencode($next)."&scope=".urlencode($this->googleAuth)."&session=1&secure=0");
}
}

$gAPI = new gdata();

if($_GET['a'] == 'getContacts'){
$gAPI->token = $_GET['token'];
$gAPI->headers();
$gAPI->request_contacts('[email protected]');
}else{
$gAPI->auth();
}

?>

Never mind, simplexml_load_string() does not grab everything. I just did a regular expression to grab them.

I've had luck when working with the googel apis using this function:

 

xml_parse_into_struct();

 

Check it out on php.net , might be easier than a regex.

OK, I choose to do the json method.

 

how do I access this?

nvm again.

 

All solved:

 

json_decode($inputString, true);
