I am using the Google Analytics V3 PHP OAuht API. When using Simple.php in Google Analytics API Example the data are returned as PHP arrays. I am using the following call to get a more detailed answer to some specific data. It works fine.
$ids = "ga:xxxxxx";
$start_date = "2011-01-01";
$end_date = "2011-11-30";
$metrics = "ga:visits,ga:pageviews";
$dimensions = "ga:browser";
$optParams = array('dimensions' => $dimensions);
$data = $service->data_ga->get($ids,$start_date,$end_date,$metrics,$optParams);
Output of the Array is
Data

Now the problem. I have spent the last week trying to parse this into an HTML table or anything that looks presentable. I have come close, but it seems this multi-dimensional array is beyond what I am able to handle. I am also trying to keep the solution flexible enough to handle more metrics or dimensions if they are added as well. I am self-taught PHP, so maybe I am missing a function or two that could make this easier. Thanks again for any hints, tips of ideas to make this work.
I got a bit further, but I does not fully format the way I want...maybe someone can see where I went wrong
$output = $service->data_ga->get($ids,$start_date,$end_date,$metrics,$optParams);
echo'<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="1" cellpadding="2"
cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr>';
foreach ($output['columnHeaders'] as $header) {
print "<td>";
printf('%25s', $header['name']);
print "</td>";
}
print "</tr>";
foreach ($output['rows'] as $row) {
print "<td>";
foreach ($row as $column)
printf('%25s', $column);
print "</td>";
}
print "\n";
echo'
</tbody>
</table>';
I still can't seem to get the rows to display right.
