GoogCalList – PHP Google Calendar Event List

GoogCalList – PHP Google Calendar Event List

Current Version: 1.0.1

Google Calendars are incredibly useful for sharing and managing events — both through directly sharing calendars with friends and the ability to quickly and easily embed them in websites. Another lesser know feature is the ability to retrieve Google calendar events for use in custom programs or webpages, grabbing as much or as little information about an event as you would like. This framework provides easy access to the most common information people are looking for about events; The events name, start date & time, end date & time, and description. It also returns the event id used by google, which may prove useful as an index in custom applications. For complete usage information see below. You can also download a functional example.

Dependencies
Zend Gdata PHP Client Library
PHP 5.1+

The Class
Start by creating a directory to work in. For the sake of this example name it ‘pandagoogcalget’. Download and unpack the Zend Gdata PHP Client Library. Upload the directory ‘Zend’ into the ‘pandagoogcalget’ directory. Create a file named ‘clsgoogcalget.php’. Copy and paste the code below into the file you’ve just created.

<?php

class clsGoogCalGet
{

	//setup our vars
	private $user="";
	private $pass="";
	private $service="";
	private $client="";
	private $calid="";
	private $startDate="";
	private $endDate="";
	private $futureEvents="";
	private $maxResults="";

	//prepare Zend Gdata
	function __construct($user, $pass) {
		require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_AuthSub');
		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
		Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Calendar');

		$this->user = $user;
		$this->pass = $pass;
		$this->service = Zend_Gdata_Calendar::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
		$this->client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($this->user,$this->pass,$this->service);
	}

	//set calendar id
	public function setCalID($calid){
		$this->calid=$calid;

	//set start date
        public function setStartDate($startDate){
                $this->startDate=$startDate;

        public function setEndDate($endDate){
                $this->endDate=$endDate;
        }

	//set max results
        public function setMaxResults($maxResults){
                $this->maxResults=$maxResults;
        }

	//set futuree events
        public function setFutureEvents($futureEvents){
                $this->futureEvents=$futureEvents;
        }

	//run private function getCalEvents and retunr results to user
        public function getEvents(){
		$calOutput=$this->getCalEvents();

	private function getCalEvents()
	{
	  $gdataCal = new Zend_Gdata_Calendar($this->client);
	  $query = $gdataCal->newEventQuery();
	  $query->setUser($this->calid);
	  $query->setVisibility('public');
	  $query->setProjection('full');
	  $query->setOrderby('starttime');

	  //only apply filters for parameters the user has entered
	  if($this->startDate!=""){
		  $query->setStartMin($this->startDate);
	  }

	  if($this->endDate!=""){
		  $query->setStartMax($this->endDate);
	  }

	  if($this->maxResults!=""){
		  $query->setMaxResults($this->maxResults);
	  }

	  if($this->futureEvents){
		  $query->setfutureevents($this->futureEvents);
	  }

	  $eventFeed = $gdataCal->getCalendarEventFeed($query);

	  foreach ($eventFeed as $event) {
	    foreach ($event->when as $when){

		//split start date from string and convert utc to 12 hour am/pm

Example Usage
To use the class you’ve just created above, create a file named ‘index.php’ (or any other name you’d prefer) in the ‘pandagoogcalget’ directory. Copy and paste the code below into the file you’ve just created. Replace the information in brackets with your google account user/pass/calendar id. Please note the start date and end dates and modify as necessary. It is not necessry to include any or all of the listing parameters.

<?php

	include_once 'clsgoogcalget.php'; //path to php file for Panda Google Calendar Get class

	$clsGoogCalGet = new clsGoogCalGet('<GOOGLE ACCOUNT EMAIL>','<GOOGLE ACCOUNT PASSWORD>'); // instantiates class -- sets username and pass for google calendar
	$clsGoogCalGet->setCalID('<GOOGLE CALENDAR ID>'); // google calendar id
	$todaysDate=date('Y-m-d'.' 00:00:00'); // sets todays date
	$clsGoogCalGet->setStartDate(date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s', strtotime($todaysDate.'+1 days')).'.000Z'); // sets first date to list events for
	$clsGoogCalGet->setEndDate(date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s', strtotime($todaysDate.'+6 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds')).'.000Z'); // sets last date to list events for
	$clsGoogCalGet->setMaxResults(20); // overrides end date
	$clsGoogCalGet->setFutureEvents(true); //sets whether to list only future events -- values: true, false

	/*
	clsGoogCalGet returned array structure
        [0]: start date
        [1]: start time
        [2]: end date
        [3]: end time
        [4]: event title
        [5]: event details
        [6]: event id
	*/
        $aryCalendarEvents=$clsGoogCalGet->getEvents();
	foreach($aryCalendarEvents as $event){
		echo $event[0]." ".$event[1]." ".$event[2]." ".$event[3]." ".$event[4]." ".$event[5]." ".$event[6]."<br/>";
	}
