Google API – Get contact list

---

I am going to tell you about inviting friends. I think that this is the most important part for every website, a key to success. Today I will show you how to create simple and effective Gmail contact importer using OAuth authorization and API. Also, I will tell about obtaining Google API access too.

As the first step – lets prepare our own project in Google API console, please open this link https://code.google.com/apis/console/  and create your project. Then we need goto ‘API Access’ section and click ‘Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID’ button. Now we should fill a name for our new project:

Click next button, and, at the second step we should set URL of our destination page:

Finally, we’ve got our Client ID and secret (or – consumer key and secret):

Now – download the source files from Here  and lets start coding

index.php

<?php
  if (version_compare(phpversion(), "5.3.0", ">=")  == 1)
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
    else
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

 $sClientId = 'Your Google Client Id';
 $sClientSecret = 'Your Client Secret ';
 $sCallback = 'http://localhost/srinu/googleapi/index.php'; // change it to your call back url!
 $iMaxResults = 90; // max results
 $sStep = 'auth'; // current step

   include_once('GmailOath.php');

   session_start();

 // prepare new instances of GmailOath  and GmailGetContacts
 $oAuth = new GmailOath($sClientId, $sClientSecret, $argarray, false, $sCallback);
 $oGetContacts = new GmailGetContacts();

if ($_GET && $_GET['oauth_token']) {

    $sStep = 'fetch_contacts'; // fetch contacts step

    // decode request token and secret
    $sDecodedToken = $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($_GET['oauth_token']);
    $sDecodedTokenSecret = $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']);

    // get 'oauth_verifier'
    $oAuthVerifier = $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($_GET['oauth_verifier']);

    // prepare access token, decode it, and obtain contact list
    $oAccessToken = $oGetContacts->get_access_token($oAuth, $sDecodedToken, $sDecodedTokenSecret, $oAuthVerifier, false, true, true);
    $sAccessToken = $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($oAccessToken['oauth_token']);
    $sAccessTokenSecret = $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($oAccessToken['oauth_token_secret']);
    $aContacts = $oGetContacts->GetContacts($oAuth, $sAccessToken, $sAccessTokenSecret, false, true, $iMaxResults);

    // turn array with contacts into html string
    $sContacts = $sContactName = '';
    foreach($aContacts as $k => $aInfo) {
        $sContactName = end($aInfo['title']);
        $aLast = end($aContacts[$k]);
        foreach($aLast as $aEmail) {
            $sContacts .= '<p>' . $sContactName . '(' . $aEmail['address'] . ')</p>';
        }
    }
  } else {
    // prepare access token and set it into session
    $oRequestToken = $oGetContacts->get_request_token($oAuth, false, true, true);
    $_SESSION['oauth_token'] = $oRequestToken['oauth_token'];
    $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret'] = $oRequestToken['oauth_token_secret'];
 }

        <h3>Step 1. OAuth</h3>
        <h4>Please click <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken?oauth_token=<?php echo $oAuth->rfc3986_decode($oRequestToken['oauth_token']) ?>">this link</a> in order to get access token to receive contacts</h4>

        <?= $sContacts ?>
        </center>

When we click authorization button, it will open google authorization page, where we should grant access for our application to get our contact list:

Extend phpMyAdmin time out

---

1)Go find phpmyadmin's config.inc.php

$ sudo gedit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

2)Add these lines to the bottom of the file

$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 60*60*24;
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $cfg['LoginCookieValidity']); 

3)Restart Apache

$ sudo service apache2 restart

If with above trick, still doesn't work, try to edit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php file, then search for

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'

then edit / add the following

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'your_mysql_username';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_mysql_password';

Connecting Microsoft SQL Server with PHP on Ubuntu

---

Here is how to get PHP 5.3 on Linux (specifically Ubuntu) talking to a Microsoft SQL Server database:

  1) Install FreeTDS and the PHP MS SQL extension

sudo apt-get install freetds-common freetds-bin unixodbc php5-sybase

  2) Restart Apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  3) Configure FreeTDS

  Add this at the end of the file:

[yourserver]
host = your.server.name
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0

Test connection to the MSSQL server with this PHP script

<?php
 $server = 'your server name';
 $username = 'enter';
 $password = 'enter';
 $database = 'enter';
 $connection = mssql_connect($server, $username, $password);
 if($connection != FALSE)
  {
  echo "Connected to the database server OK<br />";
  }
 else
  {
  die("Couldn't connect");
  }
 
 if(mssql_select_db($database, $connection))
  {
  echo "Selected $database ok<br />";
  }
 else
  {
  die('Failed to select DB');
  }

 $query_result = mssql_query('SELECT @@VERSION');
 $row = mssql_fetch_array($query_result);
  if($row != FALSE)
  {
  echo "Version is {$row[0]}<br />";
  }
 mssql_free_result($query_result);
 mssql_close($connection);
 ?>

   

How to send SMS using PHP

How can I send SMS using PHP?
Actually this is easy process but for this you have to purchase an API to send SMS. But I have found a solution to show your project temporarily. I have an API that provides a free trial and allows to send 5 free SMS that is sufficient to show the project.

To integrate this you have to follow the following steps :

  1) Go to site http://vianett.com, on this site click on free trial as follow :

2) You will get a simple form, fill that form and after submission you will get a mail which will contain username and password.

   3) Now download the sms api from Here

   4) Place this file into your project folder

   5)  Now put the following code in the file and send SMS :

<html>
 <body>
   <h1></h1>
   <form method=post action='srisms.php'>
   <table border=0>
    <tr>
      <td>Recipient no:</td>
      <td><input type='text' name='recipient'></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Message</td>
      <td><textarea rows=4 cols=40 name='message' maxlength="140"></textarea></td>
    </tr>
