I am trying to connect my website with my blog on blogger using the zendGdata API and am having 2 issues:
Firstly the Zend_Loader:: functions do not appear to be loading anything and just result in a blank screen. my code so far is as below:
require_once('../Includes/ZendGdata-1.12.11/library/Zend/Loader.php');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Query');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
I am then attempting to connect with:
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, 'blogger');
$gdClient = new Zend_Gdata($client);
But as I say I am getting a blank screen.
For my 2nd query, is the $user and $pass meant to be the email address and client secret generated from the google developer console for my website?
Thanks

I've been taking a look at the Google API PHP Client and would like to use it to add rows to a Google Sheet. From the code, it looks like one would use this method:
public function insert($fileId, Google_Service_Drive_Property $postBody, $optParams = array())
{
$params = array('fileId' => $fileId, 'postBody' => $postBody);
$params = array_merge($params, $optParams);
return $this->call('insert', array($params), "Google_Service_Drive_Property");
}
but I can't really tell what the parameters would be. Am I heading in the right direction? Also, not quite sure on how to connect to a specific Sheet. Please advise.
Thanks!
Use Google sheets class from zend framework 1.12. They have very nicely coded library for Google Spreadsheets
https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/tree/master/library/Zend/Gdata/Spreadsheets
I figured out how to work this and wanted to share with you guys. As I stated in a comment, I did not think using Zend's GData class was a good way for me since it's very dependent on other classes throughout the framework, thus being too heavy.
So I ended up using this Spreadsheet Client on top of Google's API. Google's API is used to authenticate my service, then I start calling the Spreadsheet Client library afterwards.
After spending over a day of Googling for various problems I had for the authentication process, here's what I did to make things work:
Created a new project for Google API here
Clicked "APIs" menu on the left side under "APIs & Auth"
Searched the Drive API and enabled it (can't remember if it was necessary)
Clicked the "Credentials" menu on the left
Clicked "Create new Client ID" button under OAuth
Selected "Service Account"
After info showed & json downloaded (not needed), I clicked "Generate new P12 Key" button
I saved the p12 file somewhere I could access it through PHP
Then in the code, I added the following lines:
$email = 'somethingsomethingblahblah#developer.gserviceaccount.com';
$CLIENT_ID = $email;
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME = $email;
$KEY_FILE = 'path/to/p12/file';
$SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE = 'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds';
$key = file_get_contents($KEY_FILE);
$auth = new Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME,
array($SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE),
$key
);
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setScopes(array($SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE));
$client->setAssertionCredentials($auth);
$client->getAuth()->refreshTokenWithAssertion();
$client->setClientId($CLIENT_ID);
$accessToken = $client->getAccessToken();
Also, I had to make sure I:
Shared my spreadsheet specifically with the email address on my service account in the code above
Synced my server's time (I'm running Vagrant CentOS so it's slightly different)
I believe you can run this code with other services beyond Spreadsheets, such as Youtube, Analytics, etc., but you will need to get the correct scope link (see $SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE above). Remember, this is only when using the Service Account on the Google Console, which means you are programmatically getting data from your code. If you are looking to have others users sign in using the API, then it's different.
I am using this ridiculously simple script to auto Tweet on behalf of a user.
$image = 'test.jpg';
// Insert your keys/tokens
$consumerKey = 'xxx';
$consumerSecret = 'xxx';
$OAuthToken = 'xxx';
$OAuthSecret = 'xxx';
// Full path to twitterOAuth.php (change OAuth to your own path)
require_once('connect/twitter/twitteroauth.php');
$params = array(
'status' => $_REQUEST['content'],
'media[]' => '#{$image}'
);
// create new instance
$tweet = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $OAuthToken, $OAuthSecret);
// Send tweet
$tweet->post('statuses/update', $params);
Upon executing this code, text gets Tweeted on my twitter account however the image does not. I have been previously advised to only attempt tweeting local files and I was advised this is the proper way to specify the media[].
Why isnt this posting the image while its posting the text to twitter?
You need to call statuses/update_with_media - not statuses/update (which you are currently using).
For more information, please read the documentation.
I guess you are using the Abraham Library. It won't work for Tweet with Media. I was in the position last month & this library helped me. Just Download & Copy the twitteroauth folder from the extracted folder & paste it in your project folder by renaming it into twitteroauth1. Why because, there might a folder twitteroauth or files twitteroauth.php & 'oAuth.php` already present in the Abraham Library.
Now, you just want to edit the include or require_once as
require_once('twitteroauth1/twitteroauth.php');
The new twitteroauth.php will help to tweet with media. Also, in your code, it's not
$tweet->post('statuses/update', $params);
Instead, it should be,
$tweet->post('statuses/update_with_media', $params);
I'm following the tutorial on http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-googleclndr/ for working with the Google Calendar API, but I'm running into some strange problems. My PHP code looks like this
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Calendar');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client');
//create authenticated HTTP client for Calendar service
$gcal = Zend_Gdata_Calendar::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$user = "daniel.lieberman610#gmail.com";
$pass = "*******";
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $gcal);
$gcal = new Zend_Gdata_Calendar($client);
//generate query to get event list
$query = $gcal->newEventQuery();
$query->setUser($user);
$query->setVisibility('private');
$query->setProjection('basic');
//get and parse calendar feed
//print output
try {
$feed = $gcal->getCalendarEventFeed($query);
echo "<!--comment-->\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "<!--different comment-->\n";
}
Some kind of exception is occurring inside the try block, but not the Zend_Gdata_App_Exception because the error message is not being displayed. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Also, I am learning PHP as I go along here. Thanks a lot for your help.
Move the try code to the beginning of the file. Is there an error shown? Here you will find a working example which I'm using in my Joomla extension https://github.com/Digital-Peak/GCalendar/blob/master/com_gcalendar/admin/libraries/GCalendar/GCalendarZendHelper.php
By the way I suggest to move to the new google calendar API v3 because they shut down version 2 (which uses Zend) probably next year. Here is the link to the libs https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/downloads
Using Facebook's PHP SDK, I was able to get Facebook login working pretty quickly on my website. They simply set a $user variable that can be accessed very easily.
I've had no such luck trying to get Twitter's OAuth login working... quite frankly, their github material is confusing and useless for someone that's relatively new to PHP and web design, not to mention that many of the unofficial examples I've tried working through are just as confusing or are outdated.
I really need some help getting Twitter login working--I mean just a basic example where I click the login button, I authorize my app, and it redirects to a page where it displays the name of the logged in user.
I really appreciate your help.
EDIT I'm aware of the existence of abraham's twitter oauth but it provides close to no instructions whatsoever to get his stuff working.
this one is the basic example of getting the url for authorization and then fetching the user basic info when once u get back from twitter
<?php
session_start();
//add autoload note:do check your file paths in autoload.php
require "ret/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
//this code will run when returned from twiter after authentication
if(isset($_SESSION['oauth_token'])){
$oauth_token=$_SESSION['oauth_token'];unset($_SESSION['oauth_token']);
$consumer_key = 'your consumer key';
$consumer_secret = 'your secret key';
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
//necessary to get access token other wise u will not have permision to get user info
$params=array("oauth_verifier" => $_GET['oauth_verifier'],"oauth_token"=>$_GET['oauth_token']);
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", $params);
//now again create new instance using updated return oauth_token and oauth_token_secret because old one expired if u dont u this u will also get token expired error
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret,
$access_token['oauth_token'],$access_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$content = $connection->get("account/verify_credentials");
print_r($content);
}
else{
// main startup code
$consumer_key = 'your consumer key';
$consumer_secret = 'your secret key';
//this code will return your valid url which u can use in iframe src to popup or can directly view the page as its happening in this example
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$temporary_credentials = $connection->oauth('oauth/request_token', array("oauth_callback" =>'http://dev.crm.alifca.com/twitter/index.php'));
$_SESSION['oauth_token']=$temporary_credentials['oauth_token']; $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']=$temporary_credentials['oauth_token_secret'];$url = $connection->url("oauth/authorize", array("oauth_token" => $temporary_credentials['oauth_token']));
// REDIRECTING TO THE URL
header('Location: ' . $url);
}
?>
I just tried abraham's twitteroauth from github and it seems to work fine for me. This is what I did
git clone https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth.git
Upload this into your webhost with domain, say, www.example.com
Go to Twitter Apps and register your application. The changes that you need are (assuming that you will use abraham's twitteroauth example hosted at http://www.example.com/twitteroauth)
a) Application Website will be http://www.example.com/twitteroauth
b) Application type will be browser
c) Callback url is http://www.example.com/twitteroauth/callback.php (Callback.php is included in the git source)
Once you do this, you will get the CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET which you can update in the config.php from the twitteroauth distribution. Also set the callback to be the same as http://www.example.com/twitteroauth/callback.php
Thats it. If you now navigate to http://www.example.com/twitteroauth, you will get a "Signin with Twitter", that will take you to Twitter , authorize the request and get you back to the index.php page.
EDIT:
Example will not work but do not worry. Follow the above steps and upload to server.
Make sure you rename the file from github repository i.e. config-sample.php->config.php
if you want to see a working sample, find it here
Here are some OAuth 1.0A PHP libraries with examples:
tmhOAuth
Oauth-php
Twitter async
Twitter async provides documentation on how to simply sign in a user as you asked for.
Here is the step by step guide to integrate Twitter OAuth API to Web-application using PHP. Please following tutorial.
http://www.smarttutorials.net/sign-in-with-twitter-oauth-api-using-php/
You need to create Twitter App First By going thorugh following URL
https://apps.twitter.com/
Then you need to provide necessary information for the twitter app. Once your provided all the information and then save it. You will get Twitter application Consumer Key and Consumer secret.
Please download the source file from above link, and just replace TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET and TWITTER_OAUTH_CALLBACK with your Consumer Key (API Key), Consumer Secret (API Secret) and callback URL. Then upload this to your server. Now it will work successfully.
Abraham's Twitteroauth has a working demo here:
https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth-demo
Following the steps in the demo readme worked for me. In order to run composer on macOS I had to do this after installing it: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
IMO the demo could be a lot simpler and should be included in the main twitteroauth repo.
I recently had to post new tweets to Twitter via PHP using V2 of their API but couldn’t find any decent examples online that didn’t use V1 or V1.1. I eventually figured it out using the great package TwitterOAuth.
Install this package via composer require abraham/twitteroauth first (or manually) and visit developer.twitter.com, create a new app to get the credentials needed to use the API (see below). Then you can post a tweet based on the code below.
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
// Connect
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($twitterConsumerKey, // Your API key
$twitterConsumerSecret, // Your API secret key
$twitterOauthAccessToken, // From your app created at https://developer.twitter.com/
$twitterOauthAccessTokenSecret); // From your app created at https://developer.twitter.com/
// Set API version to 2
$connection->setApiVersion('2');
// POST the tweet; the third parameter must be set to true so it is sent as JSON
// See https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/manage-tweets/api-reference/post-tweets for all options
$response = $connection->post('tweets', ['text' => 'Hello Twitter'], true);
if (isset($response['title']) && $response['title'] == 'Unauthorized') {
// Handle error
} else {
var_dump($response);
/*
object(stdClass)#404 (1) {
["data"]=>
object(stdClass)#397 (2) {
["id"]=>
string(19) "0123456789012345678"
["text"]=>
string(13) "Hello Twitter"
}
}
*/
}
I have an iPhone app which creates a facebook session and I would like to restore this session on my server to hand off some of the work. I have the iPhone app working perfectly fine, it's just that I am having problems restoring the session - the documentation is lacking, at best (from http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Connect_for_iPhone -"If you want to call the API from your servers, you just need to get the sessionKey and sessionSecret properties from the session and send them back to your servers", that's it).
I think I have a decent start from what docs I have found, and my php page looks like:
require_once 'facebook.php';
$appapikey = 'key';
$appsecret = 'secret';
$userid = 'id';
$sessionKey = 'key';
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$facebook->set_user($userid,$sessionKey);
However, when I try to login to this page I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'FacebookRestClientException' with message 'Session key invalid or no longer valid'
I know that the session is valid because I am still logged in on my iPhone app. Does anybody know how to restore a session that was started on Facebook Connect?
Thank you
i spent a lot of time to find answer but found it already:
$this->facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$this->facebook->set_user($fb_id, $sessionKey, null, $sessionSecret);
just post sessionSecret with sessionKey to your server and use it with set_user API method
works perfect for me :)
