Google Spreadsheet API and Codeigniter - php

Question

I have a form, it has 4 data..
Right now I got the data on $_POST. And I want to put it to Google Spreadsheet using their API.. But i'm too newbie to understand the code..
I just only achived put Google Client API to codeigniter, but I don't know how to use it.
My code is look like this..
$this->load->library('google');
$values = array(
array(
$this->input->post('name'),
$this->input->post('email'),
$this->input->post('reason'),
$this->input->post('mobile'),
date('Y-m-d')
)
);
$body = new Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange(array(
'values' => $values
));
// $params = array(
// 'valueInputOption' => $valueInputOption
// );
$result = $this->google->spreadsheets_values->update("1gg8rHsKM3DhMaJVY-YexQyggAoq1pUCB5LpP5NFah8A", "Sheet1!A2:E2", $body, "");
I don't know what the param is intended for, so I leave it blank..
I run this code and get error Message: Undefined property: Google::$spreadsheets_values

You're missing a few things, let's go step by step.
Firstly, you need to authenticate (seems like you've done it already):
$client = $this->getClient();
$service = new Google_Service_Sheets($client);
Specify how are you sending the data:
$valueInputOption = 'RAW';
Creating the array (note that 0 is column one, 1 is column 2 and 2 is column 3). If you want to send multiple lines just do like the example bellow or if it's just one line take the [$i] and just do $values = array(...);:
$valuesb[$i] = array(
0 => "Value 1",
1 => "Value 2",
2 => "Value 3"
);
Please note that you need to specify the spreadsheet range and tab name:
$data[] = new Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange(
array(
'range' => '\'TAB NAME HERE\'!A2:AU10000',
'values' => $valuesb
)
);
Then finally sending the data
$requestBody = new Google_Service_Sheets_BatchUpdateValuesRequest();
$requestBody->setValueInputOption($valueInputOption);
$requestBody->setData($data);
$response = $service->spreadsheets_values->batchUpdate("Spreadsheet ID goes here", $requestBody);
Print the response:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($response);
echo "</pre>";
