generating XML using the new BatchJobService system in PHP

[Bill]

The documentation for the new BatchJobService system states (here, to be exact) that each client library will have some facility for generating XML files in the required format.

But I can find no such facility in the PHP library (composer package: googleads/googleads-php-lib). There simply isn't a class called BatchJobHelper, as there is in the examples (which are written in Java).

All the PHP code examples still use MutateJobService, even though the documentation insists that MutateJobService is about to be deprecated.

Am I missing something here?

Hello,

Currently, BatchJobHelper is not available in the PHP client library. Sorry for this inconvenience. The engineers are working on the BatchJobHelper component of the BatchJobService for PHP client library. We will update you once BatchJobHelper is available in the PHP client library. You could use the MutateJobService.
