$result->getTimeOnSite() returns false information #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. You must have a profile with a TimeOnSite value higher than at least
6928817 (10 million or higher returns 1, 20 million returns 2)
2. Try to use the code snippet provided below

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect $result->getTimeOnSite() to return 10000000
I bet any $result->get... with a result over a certain value will return
the wrong value.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2, Ubuntu 9.04 Server 32 Bit

Please provide any additional information below.
$GLOBALS['dimensions'] = array('date');
$GLOBALS['metrics'] = array('pageviews', 'visits', 'bounces', 'timeOnSite',
'entrances', 'newVisits', 'goal1Starts', 'goal1Completions');
$GLOBALS['sort'] = array('date');
$GLOBALS['start_index'] = '1';
$GLOBALS['max_results'] = '1000';

$entries = $ga->requestReportData($id, $GLOBALS['dimensions'],
$GLOBALS['metrics'], $GLOBALS['sort'], null, null, null,
$GLOBALS['start_index'], $GLOBALS['max_results']);

foreach($ga->getResults() as $result) {
    echo $result->getTimeOnSite()."\n";
}

I went through and manually ran the query through the API, and the problem is 
that
results over 10 million are returned expressed in scientific notation:

1.76160784E8
9.3857385E7
4.2922605E7
3.949009E7

On line 346 the GAPI class incorrectly performs an 'intval' conversion on the 
data.
The majority of metrics returned by Google Analytics are integers, but certain
metrics like timeOnPage and CPM are float values.

A quick fix is to change Line 346 to:

$report_aggregate_metrics[str_replace('ga:','',$aggregate_metric->attributes()->
name)] =
floatval($aggregate_metric->attributes()->value);

The correct way to handle this data would be to check the string returned for 
decimal
point and use intval or floatval appropriately. Large integers are also 
returned by
Google Analytics in 'scientific notation' which can also be understood by 
floatval.

This fix will be incorporated into GAPI v1.2 and will be released within the 
next few
days.

Cheers,
Stig

GAPI 1.3 has been released and contains a fix for this issue. Proper float / 
integer
detection and conversion for metrics.

Wow, that was fast, I did notice that incorrect intval, and tried changing that 
it to
strval just to see what would happen, but it still came back wrong. I didn't 
realize
floatval could decipher that notation though. Awesome

Thank You

Hi again,

Try this new link for version 1.3:

http://gapi-google-analytics-php-interface.googlecode.com/files/gapi-1.3.zip

I have just discovered a 'feature' with Google Code Project that when a file is
downloaded enough, it is locked and cannot be updated. GAPI releases will now 
be in
versioned archive files.

Thanks,
Stig
