14. Learn with a PHP OAuth2 Example Google API Access From the Console

Some applications need to access APIs from the console to perform background tasks using, for instance, the crontab available in Linux-based systems to execute jobs at scheduled times.
Read this article to learn how to develop PHP scripts that can get OAuth2-based tokens to access a Google API from the console or as a task executed by corn.
OAuth is a protocol often used to access API on behalf of a user that grants permissions to access the services of an API on behalf of that user.
This allows applications to call APIs even when the user is not present accessing a Web page.
This is possible because the OAuth protocol can be used by Web services to provide token string values that applications can use to access the APIs whenever they want, using a token string as evidence that the user granted permission to access the APIs anytime the application runs.
So, what applications need to do to access an API from a console or a task started with the cron tool is to obtain that token string.
That needs to happen with the presence of the user. The user needs to go to a page of the application. There, the user browser is redirected to a page of the API service provided. The user is requested to permit the application to perform specific actions by calling the API.

After the user provides the requested permissions, the user's browser is redirected back to the application page. Then, the application calls the API following the OAuth protocol to retrieve the access token.

From now on, the application can use the access token to perform API calls to which the user gave permission.

Updated on: 2023-10-30
Posted on: 2023-10-30
Blog: AppML PHP CRUD package blog
Package: AppML PHP CRUD
AppML is a modeling language that allows developers to define Forms, Lists, Reports, Filters, Functions, and Databases.
It can help developers separate the application user interface definition from the application implementation in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS on the browser side.
This package provides an example application demonstrating how to implement a Web application using AppML to model the application and PHP to implement server-side integration with a database.

Updated on: 2023-10-27

Blog: PHP PostgreSQL Show Table Relationships package blog
Package: PHP PostgreSQL Show Table Relationships
Many software projects use relational databases like PostgreSQL to store and retrieve information used by those projects.
As the projects are developed, database schema usually evolves to store more information structures to support new features.
That database schema evolution process usually includes adding more database tables and relationships between them.
Naturally, developers remember the whole table structure of complex databases.
This package implements a tool that allows developers to remember the relations between tables of a PostgreSQL database.
This possibility helps developers to be better prepared to develop new features that involve database table relationships.

Blog: Temporary PHP File Hosting package blog
Package: Temporary PHP File Hosting
File-sharing sites are helpful to allow users to send files that would be too large to share by other means, like, for instance, email messages or chat applications like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Google Chat, or others.
Usually, the files shared using file-sharing sites only need to be shared for a short period so the users who need to access those files can download them.
This package provides a simple file-sharing Web application that allows users to upload and download files.
The shared files will only be available for a limited period.

Posted on: 2023-10-24
Blog: PHP Exchange Rate API Proxy package blog
Package: PHP Exchange Rate API Proxy
Many developers are interested in finances and currency exchange rates.
Some services provide information about currencies via their APIs.
This package implements a currency exchange rate that supports FIAT and virtual coin currencies using other currency exchange rate service APIs.
The package uses a database to store the retrieved information to avoid making repeated requests to remote APIs to get the same information within short periods.
This way, it acts as a proxy to make access to the currency exchange rates faster.

Updated on: 2023-10-20
Posted on: 2023-10-20
Blog: PHP Sanitize Object package blog
Package: PHP Sanitize Object
Secure PHP applications must be careful with the values passed to the PHP code from external sources they do not control, such as the parameters passed to PHP via HTTP requests.
When the user enters the values, for instance, in a form, it may be necessary to tell the user to fix invalid values submitted via forms so that the values can comply with applicable rules.
For simple user mistakes, such as incorrect use of the case of words of a person's name, it may be more user-friendly to make the PHP code fix the issue of the letters rather than making the user select the case of the person's name.
This package can do that kind of automatic fixing of values passed to the PHP application by sanitizing important data object classes according to the rules defined in the comments of those classes.
This way, the user will not be bothered to fix the values entered in the forms, and those values will be compliant with the PHP application rules.

Updated on: 2023-10-19
Posted on: 2023-10-19
Blog: Yii2 Array Storage package blog
Package: Yii2 Array Storage
Arrays are a frequently used data type that PHP developers use in their code.
Often, associative arrays are used to store lists of values.
This package provides an alternative class that implements lists of values that can assume default values when retrieving list values that are not set.
It can also prevent setting a list value that is already set.
These features allow the implementation of more restricted lists of values in PHP.
