Export/Download a Google Document using Zend Gdata

How do I export (i.e. Download it from Google to my local) a Google Document using the Zend Gdata class?

I can retrieve a list of all the documents easily enough with the Zend_Gdata_Docs methods: getAllDocuments() and and getDocumentListFeed()

The examples given by Zend (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.docs.html) for the Google Document List Data API include an "Upload a Document" but not the corresponding "Download a Document"?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Ok one way I was able to achieve this was by using:

    Zend_Gdata method performHttpRequest()

    The first param i passed was 'GET' and the second was the entry content URL ($entry->content->getSrc()) given by the previous getDocumentListFeed() call.

    Not sure if there is a better way but that was like one or two lines of code...
