We are integrating GMail using the latest API provided by them as a part of developing email client within our application. We are using PHP client library provided by Google.

See the link https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/php/

In this I'm trying to send a mail with attachment. Here we have generated message/rfc822 compatible text and passed it with 'raw' parameter. Here the problem I found is, after executing the code, when I checked the sent mail for the mail which I sent via GMail API, the attachments are shown correctly. But it is not received/ displayed for the sender's mail box.

See the code for more info:

require_once DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/../library/google/src/Google/Client.php';
require_once DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/../library/google/src/Google/Service/Gmail.php';

function encodeRecipients($recipient){
    $recipientsCharset = 'utf-8';
    if (preg_match("/(.*)<(.*)>/", $recipient, $regs)) {
        $recipient = '=?' . $recipientsCharset . '?B?'.base64_encode($regs[1]).'?= <'.$regs[2].'>';
    }
    return $recipient;
}

$isAccessCodeExpired = 0;
$arrAccessToken = array();
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace();

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId($this->client_id);
$client->setClientSecret($this->client_secret);
$client->setRedirectUri($this->redirect_uri);
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force');

$client->addScope("https://mail.google.com/");
$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose");
$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify");
$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly");


if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('code')) {
    $code = $this->getRequest()->getParam('code');
    $client->authenticate($code);
    $session->gmail_access_token = $client->getAccessToken();
    //$redirect = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $redirect = BASE_PATH . '/oauth2callback';
    header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
}

$isAccessCodeExpired = $client->isAccessTokenExpired();
if (isset($session->gmail_access_token) && $session->gmail_access_token != "" && $isAccessCodeExpired !== 1) {

    $client->setAccessToken($session->gmail_access_token);            
    $objGMail = new Google_Service_Gmail($client);

    $strMailContent = 'This is a test mail which is sent via using Gmail API client library.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>GMail API Team.';
    $strMailTextVersion = strip_tags($strMailContent, '');

    $strRawMessage = "";

    $strRawMessage .= 'Subject: =?' . $subjectCharset . '?B?' . base64_encode($strSubject) . "?=\r\n";
    $strRawMessage .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

    try {
        // The message needs to be encoded in Base64URL
        $mime = rtrim(strtr(base64_encode($strRawMessage), '+/', '-_'), '=');
        $msg = new Google_Service_Gmail_Message();
        $msg->setRaw($mime);
        $objSentMsg = $objGMail->users_messages->send("me", $msg);

        print('Message sent object');
        print($objSentMsg);

    } catch (Exception $e) {
        print($e->getMessage());
        unset($_SESSION['access_token']);
    }
}

Please help me... Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the Spam folder? I had some problems with emails ending up in there due to wrong header dataThorough
It is coming in receiver's Inbox, but without attachment. Do you have any properly working code sample of sending mail using GMail API in PHP?Prothallus
Your code is working just fine for me. I'm able to see the attachment both in the sent mail folder and also in my inbox. I used a csv attachment like you did. Is your file corrupted somehow? Can you try again using a different CSV?Seamark
the code you provided as an issue turned out to help answer a question i had. kudos to you sreejith!Ima

Replace your:

$strRawMessage .= 'Content-type: Multipart/Alternative; boundary="' . $boundary . '"' . "\r\n";

with:

$strRawMessage .= 'Content-type: Multipart/Mixed; boundary="' . $boundary . '"' . "\r\n";
