Google API php client - ivan1900 - 05-01-2020
hi, I am trying to use the google client api. Following the instructions of developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/php, I can't get to instantiate the client object.
I put this code in my controller:
PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;
require_once (__DIR__ . './../ThirdParty/googleApi/vendor/autoload.php');
class GoogleSheetData extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS='.(__DIR__ . './../ThirdParty/xxxxxx.json'));
$client = new Google_Client();
.
.
.
but I get the error:
Class 'App\Controllers\Google_Client' not found
I appreciate any help, thanks

You installed it the manual way correct?
Try with:
new \Google_Client();
PS. Moved your thread to General help as it's more of a PHP7 and namespacing problem than CI4.

It has worked, I have already understood, thank you.
I have another question, yesterday I tried to install with composer. Install CI 4 first and then API Google Client. But I notice that a vendor folder has been created with a copy of the CI4 structure inside.
This is normal?

Great that it worked out for you!
It's the correct structure for the Appstarter.

I think I just understood how composer works. It is amazing, i think that is the best option for future updates.
Thank you so much!!
