As the first step – lets prepare our own project in Google API console, please open this link 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, 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 and lets start coding!

Now, please create empty index.php file and put next code:
index.php
<?php
// disable warnings
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_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET';
$sCallback = 'http://www.script-tutorials.com/demos/291/index.php'; // callback url, don't forget to change it to your!
$iMaxResults = 20; // max results
$sStep = 'auth'; // current step
// include GmailOath library https://code.google.com/p/rspsms/source/browse/trunk/system/plugins/GmailContacts/GmailOath.php?r=11
include_once('classes/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']);

$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>';
}
}

// 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'];

As you can see – in the beginning we include ‘GmailOath.php’ library. This library you can download here. Once you have downloaded it – pay attention to the code. As you can see – the main functionality is separated into 2 sections: authorization and fetching of contact list. As usual – I put my comments in this code to better understanding.
When we click authorization button, it will open google authorization page, where we should grant access for our application to get our contact list:
