Hi Ben, The AdWords API allows you to pass in either a clientCustomerId or a clientEmail header, depending on how you want to specify the client account. In the PHP client library, the auth.ini file stores these values in the property clientId. The value in clientId will be put into either the clientCustomerId header or the clientEmail header depending on which type of value it is.
As for the applicationToken, it's been completely deprecated and is no longer required for the sandbox or production API. The error message you are seeing is from an older version of the library that required it. Please ensure you've downloaded and installed the latest version of the PHP client library, which is currently 2.2.0: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/downloads/list Calling the v13 AccountService.getClientAccounts() is only needed when you are using the v13 version of the API. If you use the v200909 of v201003 versions of the API then the client accounts will be automatically generated on the first get() request made to the API. As for the error, ensure that your first request is a get() request, typically CampaignService.get(). Also, I seem to remember problems in the past where gmail.com worked, but googlemail.com didn't. Try changing the domain to gmail.com and see if that fixes the problem.
