Updating Google Contacts with PHP

[peteyg]

I was wondering if anyone is aware of any code examples for updating Google Contacts data in PHP. I have no problems authenticating and retrieving contacts using Google's provided API (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/wiki/OAuth2)

However, this does not appear to have any support for manipulating the contacts. I have also tried Zend Gdata (http://framework.zend.com/download/gdata/) to achieve this, but this works off oAuth 1.0. Which is not only deprecated, but I cannot verify my URLs (as they are on an intranet).

The guide (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/) is useful, but has no specific PHP examples. The main problem I'm having revolves around trying to send authenticated cURL requests.. This guide (https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/using_cURL#updating-entries) has been useful but still I have found no solution so far.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

After creating the batch XML I used the following snippet, which is working really well:

$headers = array(

'Host: www.google.com',

'Content-length: '.strlen($contactXML),

'Content-type: application/atom+xml',

'Authorization: OAuth '.$integration['AuthToken'],

);

$contactQuery = 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/batch?v=3.0';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $contactQuery );

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $contactXML);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if($response === false) {

$content .= 'cURL Operation Failed ('.curl_error($ch).')<br />';

} else {

$content .= 'cURL Operation Successful<br />';

}

curl_close($ch);

Also this page is really useful for testing:  https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
