Hey everyone, I'm fiddling with Google Calendar API, trying to make a
site where you as a member can join events.
My problem is to create an event from this site. The user is writing
all the values in a form which is being sent to a page that puts these
values into this:

<?php
session_start();

require_once "src/apiClient.php";
require_once "src/contrib/apiCalendarService.php";

$apiClient = new apiClient();
$apiClient->setUseObjects(true);
$service = new apiCalendarService($apiClient);

if (isset($_SESSION['oauth_access_token'])) {
$apiClient->setAccessToken($_SESSION['oauth_access_token']);
} else {
$token = $apiClient->authenticate();
$_SESSION['oauth_access_token'] = $token;
}
$summary=$_GET["summary"];
$location=$_GET["location"];
$description=$_GET["description"];
$starttime=$_GET["start"];
$attendeename=$_GET["attendeename"];
$attendeeemail=$_GET["attendeeemail"];
$calid=$_GET["calid"];

/*

*/
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Kalender</title>

</head>
<body>
<?php
echo $calid;
$event = new Event();

$event->setSummary($summary);
$event->setDescription($description);
$event->setLocation($location);
$organizer = new EventOrganizer();
$organizer ->setEmail($attendeeemail);
$event->setOrganizer($organizer);
$event->setLocation($location);
$start = new EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime($starttime);
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new EventDateTime();
$end->setDate('2012-16-02');
$event->setEnd($end);

$attendee1 = new EventAttendee();

$attendee1->setEmail($attendeeemail);
$attendee1->setDisplayName($attendeename);

// ...
$attendees = array($attendee1,
// ...
);
$event->attendees = $attendees;
print_r('<pre>');
print_r($event);
print_r('</pre>');
$createEvent = $service->events->insert($calid, $event);

echo $createEvent->getId(); ?>

</body>
</html>
But when I do so, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'apiServiceException' with message
'Error calling POST
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/4u2l2652jno7n...@group.calendar.google.com/events?key=MYKEY:

Can anyone please help me?
Sincerely, Anders

Hi,

I suspect the date format you are using for start and end times is incorrect. It should be like the following: 2011-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00

Since your users are entering this value themselves, you may wish to convert between the format they enter and the above format (or document for your users how to enter the correct format).

Thanks,

Dan

Thank you for the answer, but it doesn't seem to work.

I can delete events, so I got access to the calendar.

I believe that Dan is correct.

Your code is

$start = new EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime($starttime);
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new EventDateTime();
$end->setDate('2012-16-02');
$event->setEnd($end);

You are saying that you initializing a DateTime, but you are only providing a Date.
