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.

1. How Can PHP Sanitize Form Data to Fix Common User Mistakes Automatically

Package: PHP Sanitize Object
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.
