Answer 1

It seems that the class Google_Service_Drive_ParentReference() is not working anymore. However, the following code works for me:

$fileMetadata = new Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile(array(
        //Set the Random Filename
        'name' => $rdmName,
        //Set the Parent Folder
        'parents' => array('0BzaRxkCDivjIM1pUYU1SLWVxOGM') // this is the folder id
    ));

    try{

        $newFile = $drive_service->files->create(
            $fileMetadata,
            array(
                'data' => file_get_contents(TESTFILE),
                'mimeType' => 'application/pdf',
                'uploadType' => 'media'
            )
        );


    } catch(Exception $e){

        echo 'An error ocurred : ' . $e->getMessage();

    }

Set the parent folder like this:

//Set the Parent Folder
$parent = new Google_Service_Drive_ParentReference(); //previously Google_ParentReference
$parent->setId('0B9mYBlahBlahBlah');
$file->setParents(array($parent));
