How to read two-dimensional array data using Google Sheets API?

Question

I am new to Google Sheets API, Currently I'm developing a system to send data to Google Sheets. When I try to send data it shows error like: Invalid value [0][0]

Below are my lines of code.

`

$client = getClientAuth();

        $spreadsheet_ID = $this->spreadsheet->spreadsheetId; 
        
        $range = "Sheet1";

        $values = $this->sheetData;

        $this->service = new Sheets($client);


        $body = new ValueRange([
            'majorDimension' => 'ROWS',
            'values' => [array_map(function($nv) {
                return (is_null($nv)) ? "" : $nv;
              },$values)]
        ]);

        $params = ['valueInputOption' => 'RAW'];

        $insert = ['insertDataOption' => 'INSERT_ROWS'];

        //executing the request
        $data = $this->service->spreadsheets_values->append($spreadsheet_ID, $range,
        $body, $params, $insert);
    
        return $data;

Based on your error message and display script, I think in your case $values is probably a 2D array. I think your script will work if $values is a 1D array. Also, include 'insertDataOption' => 'INSERT_ROWS' in $params. So, that being the case, what about the following modifications?

From:

$body = new ValueRange([
    'majorDimension' => 'ROWS',
    'values' => [array_map(function($nv) {
        return (is_null($nv)) ? "" : $nv;
      },$values)]
]);

$params = ['valueInputOption' => 'RAW'];

$insert = ['insertDataOption' => 'INSERT_ROWS'];

//executing the request
$data = $this->service->spreadsheets_values->append($spreadsheet_ID, $range,
$body, $params, $insert);

To:

$body = new ValueRange([
    'majorDimension' => 'ROWS',
    'values' => array_map(function($row) {
      return array_map(function($col) {
        return (is_null($col)) ? "" : $col;
      }, $row);
    }, $values)
]);
$params = ['valueInputOption' => 'RAW', 'insertDataOption' => 'INSERT_ROWS'];
$data = $service->spreadsheets_values->append($spreadsheet_ID, $range, $body, $params);

or

$body = new Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange([
    'majorDimension' => 'ROWS',
    'values' => array_map(function($row) {
      return array_map(function($col) {
        return (is_null($col)) ? "" : $col;
      }, $row);
    }, $values)
]);
$params = ['valueInputOption' => 'RAW', 'insertDataOption' => 'INSERT_ROWS'];
$data = $service->spreadsheets_values->append($spreadsheet_ID, $range, $body, $params);

Notice:

• When using arrow functions, I think the following modifications can be used.

  • from

    'values' => array_map(function($row) {
      return array_map(function($col) {
        return (is_null($col)) ? "" : $col;
      }, $row);
    }, $values)
    

  • To

    'values' => array_map(fn($row) => array_map(fn($col) => (is_null($col)) ? "" : $col, $row), $values)
