Natively Connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 Data in PHP

Drop the CData ODBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager 360 into your LAMP or WAMP stack to build Google Campaign Manager 360-connected Web applications. This article shows how to use PHP's ODBC built-in functions to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data, execute queries, and output the results.

Configure a DSN

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.

Establish a Connection

Open the connection to Google Campaign Manager 360 by calling the or methods. To close connections, use or .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC GoogleCM Source","user","password");

Connections opened with are closed when the script ends. Connections opened with the method are still open after the script ends. This enables other scripts to share that connection when they connect with the same credentials. By sharing connections among your scripts, you can save system resources, and queries execute faster.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC GoogleCM Source","user","password");
...
odbc_close($conn); //persistent connection must be closed explicitly

Create Prepared Statements

Create prepared statements and parameterized queries with the function.

$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM CampaignPerformance WHERE Device = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC GoogleCM Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM CampaignPerformance WHERE Device = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('Mobile devices with full browsers'));
 

Execute nonparameterized queries with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC GoogleCM Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Clicks, Device FROM CampaignPerformance");
 

Process Results

Access a row in the result set as an array with the function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Google Campaign Manager 360 data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Clicks, Device FROM CampaignPerformance");
while($row = odbc_fetch_array($query)){
 echo $row["Clicks"] . "\n";
}

Display the result set in an HTML table with the function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Google Campaign Manager 360 data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM CampaignPerformance WHERE Device = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('Mobile devices with full browsers'));
if($success)
 odbc_result_all($query);
