Retrieve the unique contact ID with PHP

[Jean-Louis]

I'm building a simple app to connect and eventually sync my contacts with a local list hosted in MySQL.

The query for retrieving the data is $query = new Zend_Gdata_Query('http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full');

That gives me everything (99.9%) about the contact, except for its ID, making the update impossible.

How do you access it? I'm talking about something that should look like http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/myemail%40gmail.com/base/125a5c8f49b1'

Thanks!

Hello,

Please use SSL (https) over non-SSL (http) whenever possible. Your first query should look like:

  https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full

Each entry should have a link element with its rel attribute set to "edit", use this link for subsequent request to the API in order to retrieve, update, or delete this contact.

Best,

Alain

Jean, this is how I receive the ID

$id = rawurlencode($entry->id);

I also believe that Zend has a function, get_id().... but I decided not to use it, I didn't find it was quite right for me.
