Chapter 7 — Gmail Libraries 121
Then you set the setLoginInfomethod, giving the username, password, and
time zone from GMT:
$gm->setLoginInfo($name, $pwd, $tz);
Finally, you tell Gmailer to connect:
$gm->connect();
You need to use setLoginInfoonly once — Gmailer saves your Gmail cookies,
so once you’ve logged in, you only need to use the connect()method to pass
more commands.
Putting that all together, then, you arrive at Listing 7-1, which gets you logged in
to Gmail, ready for some more code.
Listing 7-1:Logging in to Gmail with PHP<?php
require(“libgmailer.php”);
$gm = new GMailer();
$name = “username”;
$pwd = “password”;
$tz = “0”;
$gm->setLoginInfo($name, $pwd, $tz);
if ($gm->connect()) {/** THE REST OF YOUR CODE GOES IN HERE **/}$gm->disconnect();
?>
The disconnect()method logs you out again.
Parsing the Inbox
Once you are logged in, retrieving a thread is simple and is a good example to
show the deeper functions available from the Gmailer library.
