Question

Getting super frustrated trying to get this working. Basically this is for a site (x10hosting.com) where I can’t include the zend gdata framework, so I’m trying to use the Google Data API with php cURL to access it. The most I’ve been able to do is return a list of the supplied usernames worksheets, using this script:

<?php

// Construct an HTTP POST request
$clientlogin_url = "https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin";
$clientlogin_post = array(
    "accountType" => "HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE",
    "Email" => "", //username
    "Passwd" => '',  //password
    "service" => "writely",
    "source" => "your application name"
);

// Initialize the curl object
$curl = curl_init($clientlogin_url);

// Set some options (some for SHTTP)
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $clientlogin_post);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// Execute
$response = curl_exec($curl);

// Get the Auth string and save it
preg_match("/Auth=([a-z0-9_\-]+)/i", $response, $matches);
$auth = $matches[1];

echo "The auth string is: ".$auth;
// Include the Auth string in the headers
// Together with the API version being used
$headers = array(
    "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=".$auth,
    "GData-Version: 3.0",
);

// Make the request
$key = ;
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://spreadsheets1.google.com/ccc?key=$key");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, false);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
var_dump($response);
// Parse the response
$response = simplexml_load_string($response);

// Output data
foreach($response->entry as $file)
{
    echo "File: " . $file->title . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $file->content["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Author: " . $file->author->name . "<br /><br />";
}
?>

But I can’t figure out a way to use this to access one specific worksheet. Please help, this is driving me nuts.

EDIT: Following DASPRiD’s advice gives me this error->

Answer 1

A query to the following URL should list you all worksheets of a specific spreadsheet:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/worksheets/**spreadsheetKey**/private/full

To install and use Zend_Gdata, do the following:

Download the last package (http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendGdata-1.10.7/ZendGdata-1.10.7.tar.gz) from the Zend Framework website. Now let’s assume the following directors structure:

• /index.php (your main file)
• /library/Zend (extract the library/Zend folder in here)

Now in your index.php, do the following:

set_include_path(
    dirname(__FILE__) . '/library'
    . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
);

require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';

Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();

Now you can simply follow the manual (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.spreadsheets.html). Interesting for you may be the topics “Get a List of Spreadsheets” for creating the service instance and “Get a List of Worksheets” to fetch all worksheets of a specific spreadsheet.

Update:

It looks like the Zend_Gdata package is not properly packaged. I will note that to get the package fixed. In the meantime, I suggest you to download the complete Zend Framework package. To use the autoloader in 1.8 correctly, do the following instead:

require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';

Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
