Answer 1

I agree with the above answer, but only want to describe if user getting error in php using nlp google:

<?php 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

# Includes the autoloader for libraries installed with composer
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

# Imports the Google Cloud client library
use Google\Cloud\Language\LanguageClient;
putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/home/sgupta/www/practise/nlp/google/cred.json'); //your path to file of cred
//$client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();
# Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
$projectId = 'nlp-project-nname'; //your project name

# Instantiates a client
$language = new LanguageClient([
    'projectId' => $projectId
]);

# The text to analyze
$text = 'Sachin Tendulkar';



# Detects the sentiment of the text
$annotation = $language->analyzeSentiment($text);
$sentiment = $annotation->sentiment();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($annotation); die;

echo 'Text: ' . $text . '
Sentiment: ' . $sentiment['score'] . ', ' . $sentiment['magnitude'];
?>

Answer 2

You need to use putenv() (http://php.net/manual/en/function.putenv.php) instead of trying to use any of the methods you have used ($_ENV or $_SERVER).

Taken from https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/UPGRADING.md#google_auth_assertioncredentials-has-been-removed

// OR use environment variables (recommended)

putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json');
$client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();

Answer 3

Alternatively you can define a path to your json file like this

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAuthConfig('/path/to/credentials.json');

Answer 4

Use this one it's working for me

# Includes the autoloader for libraries installed with composer
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=../service-account.json');
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();
$client->setScopes(['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly']);
$client->refreshTokenWithAssertion();
$token = $client->getAccessToken();
$accessToken = $token['access_token'];

Attempt to use the ImageAnnotator like below When running the code, observe that you get an error: Could not construct ApplicationDefaultCredentials

solution

putenv("GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/home/netwons/Downloads/AIz.json");

but not work. OS: Ubuntu PHP version: 7.2.4 Package name and version: google/cloud-vision 0.19.1 this is code

$imageAnnotator = new ImageAnnotatorClient();
//        $client->setAuthConfig('key.json');

        # the name of the image file to annotate
        $fileName = '2.png';

        # prepare the image to be annotated
        $image = file_get_contents($fileName);

        # performs label detection on the image file
        $response = $imageAnnotator->labelDetection($image);
        $labels = $response->getLabelAnnotations();

        if ($labels) {
            echo("Labels:" . PHP_EOL);
            foreach ($labels as $label) {
                echo($label->getDescription() . PHP_EOL);
            }
        } else {
            echo('No label found' . PHP_EOL);
        }
