How can I delete rows from Google Sheet with PHP? - php

Question

I use Google Api PHP Library.
I want to delete rows.
I found it, but how can I use it? https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client-services/blob/master/src/Google/Service/Sheets/DeleteDimensionRequest.php
For example, I use it for adding rows:
// Build the CellData array
$values = array();
foreach( $ary_values AS $d ) {
$cellData = new Google_Service_Sheets_CellData();
$value = new Google_Service_Sheets_ExtendedValue();
$value->setStringValue($d);
$cellData->setUserEnteredValue($value);
$values[] = $cellData;
}
// Build the RowData
$rowData = new Google_Service_Sheets_RowData();
$rowData->setValues($values);
// Prepare the request
$append_request = new Google_Service_Sheets_AppendCellsRequest();
$append_request->setSheetId(0);
$append_request->setRows($rowData);
$append_request->setFields('userEnteredValue');
// Set the request
$request = new Google_Service_Sheets_Request();
$request->setAppendCells($append_request);
// Add the request to the requests array
$requests = array();
$requests[] = $request;
// Prepare the update
$batchUpdateRequest = new Google_Service_Sheets_BatchUpdateSpreadsheetRequest(array(
'requests' => $requests
));
try {
// Execute the request
$response = $sheet_service->spreadsheets->batchUpdate($fileId, $batchUpdateRequest);
if( $response->valid() ) {
// Success, the row has been added
return true;
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Something went wrong
error_log($e->getMessage());
print_r($e->getMessage());
}
return false;

Please Try this works for me
$spid = '1lIUtn8WmN1Yhgxv68dt4rylm6rO77o8UX8uZu9PIu2o'; // <=== Remember to update this to your workbook to be updated
$deleteOperation = array(
'range' => array(
'sheetId' => 0, // <======= This mean the very first sheet on worksheet
'dimension' => 'ROWS',
'startIndex'=> 2, //Identify the starting point,
'endIndex' => (3) //Identify where to stop when deleting
)
);
$deletable_row[] = new Google_Service_Sheets_Request(
array('deleteDimension' => $deleteOperation)
);
Then Send the query to google to update your worksheet
$delete_body = new Google_Service_Sheets_BatchUpdateSpreadsheetRequest(array(
'requests' => $deletable_row
)
);
//var_dump($delete_body);
$result = $service->spreadsheets->batchUpdate($spid, $delete_body);

I hope this helps you. Thanks and keep in touch
