Trying to append a row to a Google Spreadsheet in PHP

Question

I'm using Google's Client API via Composer (https://packagist.org/packages/google/apiclient) and I have successfully authenticated and received an access token.

I am trying to add a row to a Google sheet in my drive, but I can't find any relevant documentation that specifically addresses PHP.

Here's what I've got so far:

$service = new Google_Service_Sheets($a4e->google); // my authenticated Google client object
$spreadsheetId = "11I1xNv8cHzBGE7uuZtB9fQzbgrz4z7lIaEADfta60nc";
$range = "Sheet1!A1:E";
$valueRange= new Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange();
$service->spreadsheets_values->update($spreadsheetId,$range,$valueRange);

This returns the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Service_Exception' with message '{ "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Invalid valueInputOption: INPUT_VALUE_OPTION_UNSPECIFIED", "errors": [ { "message": "Invalid valueInputOption: INPUT_VALUE_OPTION_UNSPECIFIED", "domain": "global", "reason": "badRequest" } ], "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" } } ' in /usr/share/nginx/vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google/Http/REST.php

I'm stuck as to the format of the "Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange()" object, and also how to append a row to the end of the sheet, rather than having to specify a particular range.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue.

There is a new append method: (I am using a service account.)

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();
$client->setSubject($delegated_user);
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Sheets::SPREADSHEETS);
$service = new Google_Service_Sheets($client);
$range = 'Sheet1!A:E';
$values = [
    ["a", "b", "C", "D", "E"]
];
$body = new Google_Service_Sheets_ValueRange([
    'values' => $values
]);
$params = [
    'valueInputOption' => "RAW"
];
$result = $service->spreadsheets_values->append($spreadsheet_id, $range, $body, $params);
