Insert event into google calendar with php

Question

How can I insert an event into a google calendar?

I am using this guide: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert

In the examples section, there is this php code:

$event = new Event();
$event->setSummary('Appointment');
$event->setLocation('Somewhere');
$start = new EventDateTime();
$start->setDateTime('2011-06-03T10:00:00.000-07:00');
$event->setStart($start);
$end = new EventDateTime();
$end->setDateTime('2011-06-03T10:25:00.000-07:00');
$event->setEnd($end);
$attendee1 = new EventAttendee();
$attendee1->setEmail('attendeeEmail');
// ...
$attendees = array($attendee1,
                   // ...
                  );
$event->attendees = $attendees;
$createdEvent = $service->events->insert('primary', $event);

echo $createdEvent->getId();

But that gives me a fatal error because $service is undefined. Can anybody tell me how to initialize $service and make this stuff work?

In the newest version of Google API v3 PHP client you should use

$event = new Google_Event(); 

instead of

$event = new Event();

And also use

$start = new Google_EventDateTime();

instead of

$start = new EventDateTime();

And of course the require definitions are different, use this one:

require_once '../src/Google_Client.php';
require_once '../src/contrib/Google_CalendarService.php';
