Actually, please ignore my comment, I found a solution to allow accents 😉

function cleanKey($k)
{
return strtolower(preg_replace(‘/[^A-Za-z0-9àáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðòóôõöùúûüýÿ\-\.]+/’,”,$k));
}

Very interesting and useful article, thanks a lot for this helper!

I’m using it on a French site and unfortunately, the cleanKey() function removes the accentued characters (é à è ï…), any idea how to avoid that?
I do have some columns with accent in their headers, so I can’t get to write in them properly :/

Anyway, thanks again!

Hey,

I use this in some use cases. But went to a problem, when the Spreadsheet is bigger then some size, the memory on server for PHP is out. Is there any option to work with Google Spreadsheet in more memory efficient way? Any ideas? I think that Zend GData works with Spreadsheet in memory…and the spreadsheet is (for sure) constantly increasing…

Thanks for such a great tutorial and helper class !

I have used this and it works fine for me. I am using PHP: 5.3.5. One problem is that it is giving one warning like

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\usolver\Google_Spreadsheet.php on line 258

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\usolver\Google_Spreadsheet.php on line 289

I am unable to hide this warning or solve this or solve this warning. Please help me for this warning.

Hi!
I need to make this thing work..
But I get this error:

Warning: require_once(Zend/Loader.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mydomain/public_html/mydomain.in/register/Google_Spreadsheet.php on line 216

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘Zend/Loader.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:zend/library’) in /home/mydomain/public_html/mydomain.in/register/Google_Spreadsheet.php on line 216

I guess I haven’t installed ZEND properly, can you suggest how to install it?

Hi, first off, great tutorial. It was really helpful and very well written. However, I would also like to know how to addColumn rather than a row. Cheers

This is Really nice, is there any way to format the rows. Namely, I want to change the background color of the row.
