Trying to run a script to remove multiple Adgroups

[Dan Hai]

Not sure where I am messing up. Here is my code:

public static function runExample(AdWordsServices $adWordsServices,
    AdWordsSession $session)
{



    $adGroupId = array(3729748624, 37497486701);
    $adGroupCount = count($adGroupId);

    for ($x = 0; $x < $adGroupCount; $x++) {
        $array = $adGroupId[$adGroupCount];
        $adGroupService = $adWordsServices->get($session, AdGroupService::class);

        $operations = [];
        // Create ad group with REMOVED status.
        $adGroup = new AdGroup();
        $adGroup->setId($array);
        $adGroup->setStatus(AdGroupStatus::REMOVED);

        // Create ad group operation and add it to the list.
        $operation = new AdGroupOperation();
        $operation->setOperand($adGroup);
        $operation->setOperator(Operator::SET);
        $operations[] = $operation;

        // Remove the ad group on the server.
        $result = $adGroupService->mutate($operations);

        $adGroup = $result->getValue()[0];
        printf("Ad group with ID %d was removed.\n", $adGroup->getId());
    }
}

I am getting an  [RequiredError.REQUIRED @ operations[0].operand.id] error.

Hi,

The code that you shared looks similar to the RemoveAdGroup example available in the PHP client library. However, there might be issues with the way you are accessing index of the $adGroupId array. Also, the count doesn't seem to increment in the loop. Could you please fix these issues and confirm if that works? If not, are you able to remove one ad group at a time if you run the aforementioned example? Lastly, could you please check if you are using the correct ad group IDs, since I'm not able to see these ad groups in the system. If you are still facing issues, could you please provide me with the SOAP XML request and response logs for the API call that returns this error?

Resolved, Here is the working code!!

public static function runExample(AdWordsServices $adWordsServices,
    AdWordsSession $session)
{

    $adGroupId = array(39345934486, 40389896837, 44185215527);

    $adGroupCount = count($adGroupId);

    for ($x = 0; $x < $adGroupCount; $x++) {

        $array = $adGroupId[$x];

        $adGroupService = $adWordsServices->get($session, AdGroupService::class);

        $operations = [];
        // Create ad group with REMOVED status.
        $adGroup = new AdGroup();
        $adGroup->setId($array);
        $adGroup->setStatus(AdGroupStatus::REMOVED);
