How to share file for anyone Google Drive API using PHP - php

Question

I have been trying over and over, but could not reach any result.
the code is generating permission id and I don't know what that means.
Please do help if anyone succeeded in this before, I just want to share file publicly using the google drive api v2.0
$fileId = '18mWN0UWX_z-4A1gag85ou0Im-wvKfMZU-tibdVd8nxY';
$userPermission = new Google_Service_Drive_Permission(array(
'type' => 'anyone',
'role' => 'reader',
'emailAddress' => 'user#example.com'
));
$request = $service->permissions->create(
$fileId, $userPermission, array('fields' => 'id'));
$batch->add($request, 'user');
$domainPermission = new Google_Service_Drive_Permission(array(
'type' => 'domain',
'role' => 'reader',
'domain' => 'example.com'
));
$request = $service->permissions->create(
$fileId, $domainPermission, array('fields' => 'id'));
$batch->add($request, 'domain');
$results = $batch->execute();
foreach ($results as $result) {
if ($result instanceof Google_Service_Exception) {
// Handle error
printf($result);
} else {
printf("Permission ID: %s\n", $result->id);
}
}
} finally {
$service->getClient()->setUseBatch(false);
}

Answer 1

Here is my code snippet which was 2 years old.
$uplodedOriginalFile = new Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile();
$originallinkdata = file_get_contents($downloadlink['originallink']);
$uploadedfile = $service->files->insert($uplodedOriginalFile, array(
'data' => $originallinkdata,
'uploadType' => 'multipart',
));
$newPermission = new Google_Service_Drive_Permission();
//$newPermission->setValue($value);
$newPermission->setType('anyone');
$newPermission->setRole('reader');
try
{
$service->permissions->insert($uploadedfile['id'], $newPermission);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
print "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage();
}
$publicOriginallink = "https://googledrive.com/host/".$uploadedfile['id'];
So you just need the inserted file Id and keep the permssion for anyone as reader and append the inserted file Id after "https://googledrive.com/host/ [newly inserted file id which is returned by google drive sdk]"

Answer 2

code snippet worked
$fileid =$createdFile['id'];
//--insert permission to file in public
$newPermission = new Google_Permission();
$newPermission->setType('anyone');
$newPermission->setRole('reader');
try
{$service->permissions->insert($fileid, $newPermission);}
catch (Exception $e){print "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage();}
$publicOriginallink = "https://googledrive.com/host/".$fileid;
I just made few changes with Jai's code (Google_Permission) to match with my Google APIs Client Library version.
