Getting files from specific folder using Drive Api (PHP)

Question

I have a folder in my google drive and I want to list its files and subfolders using google drive Api through a search box. Does Api provide any flexibility to get folders.

I've a script to get folders but it's not working properly. Showing some trashed folder. I want files too.

   $this->client = $googl->client();
   $this->drive = $googl->drive($this->client);
   $folderId = '0B4JDg65OBlTM3RseUk';
   $parameters = [
            'q' => "'$folderId' in parents",
            'fields' => 'files(id, name, modifiedTime, iconLink, 
             webViewLink, webContentLink)'];
   $result = $this->drive->files->listFiles($parameters);

Answer 1

To list files, you may use the files.list method of the API. This method accepts the q parameter, which is a search query combining one or more search terms.

Response:

{
  "kind": "drive#fileList",
  "nextPageToken": string,
  "incompleteSearch": boolean,
  "files": [
    files Resource
  ]
}

Example for files.list :

Search for the ID 1234567 in the parents collection. This finds all files and folders located directly in the folder whose ID is 1234567 .

'1234567' in parents
