I need to make a PHP script that creates a sigle event on Google Calendar. I had no problems setting up client id, client secret, dev key and creating a new event.
My only problem is with OAuth2, in particular I need to make a permanent connection and I do not want to do the authentication everytime I run the script.
Actually, with this script I'm able to get a token and a refresh token, but every hour my token expires and I don't know how to refresh it. How can I edit this code to do that? Can I save both the token and the refresh token somewhere and always use the same data?
I obtain an uncaught exception 'Google_AuthException' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant"
I have already read some other posts about this topic here in stackoverflow but I still haven't found a solution... :\
<?php
require_once 'src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Calendar App");
$client->setClientId('xxxx');
$client->setClientSecret('yyy');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://www.zzzzzz');
$client->setDeveloperKey('kkk');
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$cal = new Google_CalendarService($client);
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
unset($_SESSION['token']);
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
//echo $_SESSION['token'];
//$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
$authObj = json_decode($_SESSION['token']);
$accessToken = $authObj->access_token;
$refreshToken = $authObj->refresh_token;
$tokenType = $authObj->token_type;
$expiresIn = $authObj->expires_in;
echo 'access_token = ' . $accessToken;
echo '<br />';
echo 'refresh_token = ' . $refreshToken;
echo '<br />';
echo 'token_type = ' . $tokenType;
echo '<br />';
echo 'expires_in = ' . $expiresIn;
}
if(!empty($cookie)){
$client->refreshToken($this->Cookie->read('token'));
}
if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
$calList = $cal->calendarList->listCalendarList();
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
} else {
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
print "<a class='login' href='$authUrl'>Connect Me!</a>";
}
// Creation of a single event
$event = new Google_Event();
$event->setSummary($event_name);
$event->setLocation('');
....
?>
Thanks a lot for your support!
