Hi Sarah,

I haven't been able to replicate this problem locally, and there is
only sparse information available about that error.  There is another
thread on this forum discussing the problem, and you might find some
help there:

Re: Just Started and Completely Lost

I've still not been able to run anything in the API.

I'm currently getting a SOAP error:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 
'https://adwords-sandbox.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201008/CampaignService?wsdl'
 
: Start tag expected, '<' not found

For the above example, the line of code causing the error is simply the 
soapclient constructor call:
parent::__construct($wsdl, $options);

Using the below code, I get a valid XML file:
$data = 
file_get_contents("https://adwords-sandbox.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201008/CampaignService?wsdl";);
$sxe = simplexml_load_string($data);

I don't know what the difference is!

Is it possible the sandbox server is asking for a password or some other 
pop-up window is being returned to the soapclient call and thus breaking the 
XML?

Hi Sarah,

The GetAllCampaigns.php example will call CampaignService.get(), but
perhaps there is a problem with your PHP environment that is
preventing them from running.  As far as I know all emails from the
new reporting system will only return a link in the email, not an
attachment.

Re: Just Started and Completely Lost

[SarahSmith]

Thanks, I have read that but like 99% of Google information, it isn't clear 
to me.

Specifically this part:

"To create a sandbox account, send a 
getrequest
 to the sandbox version of CampaignService, using the WSDL 
locationand
 sandbox 
headersas
 described below. This initial call to the sandbox creates an MCC sandbox 
account, along with five client accounts, for the email address you 
specified. Your sandbox account and its client accounts start out empty."

Sounds so easy but I see no "get" example in the examples directory of the 
PHP client library? I have tried the GetAllCampaigns and CheckCampaigns but 
they just display a  blank page with no error or success messages.

Can I just give my account details to someone and have the sandbox account 
set up for me?

Can I just confirm there's definitely no way I can continue to get our 
reports sent to us via email attachment like we were previously doing? Is 
there any chance this functionality will be restored (for a fee if needs 
be)?

Re: Just Started and Completely Lost

I don't get an error message any more but I don't get anything else either 
(just a blank page, no error or success message).

Some articles I read suggested that there was some special call that you 
have to make before using the sandbox. Is this call in the examples? If I 
didn't make it before trying the other examples is the sandbox broken for my 
account now?

Thanks Eric, seems I got confused with between the email I signed up
with and the (different) one I had to give for contact.

Hi Sarah,

The error BadAuthentication indicates that your username and/or
password isn't correct:

http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps.html#Errors

Please ensure you've configured your auth.ini correctly.

Just Started and Completely Lost

[SarahSmith]

So, I've been using AdWords for a long time but just recently created a
new account so I could get a MCC account and use the API. I have a
developer token and have set up billing. I then downloaded and
installed the PHP client library but here is where I'm stuck.

I've watched the video on getting started with the sandbox and followed
the setup (change auth.ini and settings.ini) but no matter which
example I try, I get "Failed to get authToken. Reason:
BadAuthentication" until it switches to the captcha error.

I've tried reading articles and documentation but everything indicates
that what I've done should work.

What do I do now?
