login Gmail through CURL

[Zeeshan]

Hi,

I am able to login Gmail through CURL, But I could goto Contacts Page,

Please let me know If you have any solution.

Contact URL http://mail.google.com/mail/h/qwsanjhbkyco/?pnl=a&v=cl
where "qwsanjhbkyco" is randomly generated.

Whatever that ID is, it doesn't seem to matter which one it is. Check it
yourself if you don't believe it.

In any case, in order to get a link you'd just need to parse the HTML using
regular expressions: preg_match(), etc.

<snip code>

You don't give any information on what you expect, or on what you get
for a result. Additionally, few, if any, here have probably tried to
log into gmail this way.

I'd recommend you ask in the Gmail support groups. They know their code
and APIs better than anyone else. Be prepared to tell them what your
results are and what you think you should be getting.

From your code I guess you want to read your contacts.

It is not a good idea to try web scraping with a simple download tool, in times of
pervasive javascript and ajax usage. I bet you get an empty page frame.

Use the contact API instead.

And do a better analysis of your requirements and possible solutions next time.
