(PHP ActiveX) Get Google API Access Token using JSON Private Key using NIST Time Server Date/Time

Demonstrates how to get a Google API access token using a JSON service account private key, using the NIST time server date/time rather than the local system date/time.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First, let's get the current date/time from time-c.nist.gov
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Socket')
$socket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

// Connect to an NIST time server and read the current date/time
$maxWaitMs = 8000;
$useTls = 0;
$success = $socket->Connect('time-c.nist.gov',37,$useTls,$maxWaitMs);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The time server will send a big-endian 32-bit integer representing
// the number of seconds since since 00:00 (midnight) 1 January 1900 GMT.
// The ReceiveInt32 method will receive a 4-byte integer, but returns
// 1 or 0 to indicate success.  If successful, the integer
// is obtained via the ReceivedInt property.
$bigEndian = 1;
$success = $socket->ReceiveInt32($bigEndian);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.CkDateTime')

$dt->SetFromNtpTime($socket->ReceivedInt);

// Show the current local date/time
$bLocalTime = 1;

$maxWaitMs = 10;
$socket->Close($maxWaitMs);

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// OK, we have the current date/time.  We'll use it to set the IAT property
