Is there anyway I could write data to a Google Docs Spreadsheet using PHP, besides the Zend library? I have tried the Zend library, and while it is helpful, I want to be able to specify a specific row and column to write to, instead of writing to the last row of the specified column. From what I have seen, the Zend library is not capable of this.
Any links or code would be greatly appreciated!
I Hope this one useful for anyone..
// load Zend Gdata libraries
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
// set credentials for ClientLogin authentication
$user = "[email protected]";
$pass = "somepass";
try {
// connect to API
$service = Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $service);
$service = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets($client);
// set target spreadsheet and worksheet
$ssKey = 'ssid';
$wsKey = 'wsid';
// update cell at row 6, column 5
$entry = $service->updateCell('6', '5', 'Hello, world', $ssKey, $wsKey);
echo 'Updated cell ' . $entry->getTitle()->getText() . '';
// clear cell at row 1, column 1
$entry = $service->updateCell('1', '1', '', $ssKey, $wsKey);
echo 'Cleared cell ' . $entry->getTitle()->getText();
} catch (Exception $e) {
die('ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
The Zend library should be able to edit the contents of a given cell within the spreadsheet. See documentation here: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/1.0/developers_guide_php.html#updateCell
The 'updateCell' method allows you to pass in a row and column as your target, and set the contents to the new value. Have you had a chance to try this method?
