Thanks,

What parameter do I pass? The calendar ID?

If you want to retrieve events from a calendar besides the default, you need to pass an argument to getCalendarEventFeed. The example doesn't illustrate this. Ray

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I initially tried to use those two functions to retrieve events, however, the function outputCalendar($client) only seems to retrieve events from the default calendar. I'm trying to work out how to retrieve all events from all calendars, not just the default calendar, using the php api.

Hi,

I think it's best to consult the PHP client library dev guide. There are a lot of sample codes there, especially the one on how to retrieve the list of all your calendar -

http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/developers_guide_php.html#RetrievingCalendars

And this snippet here on how to retrieve events

http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/developers_guide_php.html#RetrievingEvents

Hope it helps, Austin

Hi,

When I retrieve events from multiple calendars, I seem to be getting all the events duplicated amongst all the calendar feeds. I'm not sure if this a problem with my code, or perhaps I'm not understand the eventfeeds correctly. Here is the function I have written, please advise me what I am doing wrong.
