send email using gmail-api and google-api-php-client

Question

I am using https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client and I want to send a test email with a user\'s authorized gmail account.

This is what I have so far:

Answer 1

Create the mail with phpmailer works fine for me in a local enviroment. On production I get this error:

Invalid value for ByteString

To solve this, remove the line:

$mail->Encoding = 'base64';

because the mail is two times encoded.

Also, on other questions/issues I found the next:

use

strtr(base64_encode($val), '+/=', '-_*')

instead of

strtr(base64_encode($val), '+/=', '-_,')
