What are the potential challenges of extracting file names from Google Drive shares using PHP?

Extracting file names from Google Drive shares using PHP can be challenging due to the need to authenticate and authorize access to the Google Drive API. Additionally, handling pagination of results and parsing the JSON response can also be complex tasks. To solve this, you can use the Google Client Library for PHP to authenticate and make requests to the Google Drive API, handle pagination, and extract the file names from the JSON response. 

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAuthConfig('credentials.json');
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setPrompt('select_account consent');

$client->addScope(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE);

$service = new Google_Service_Drive($client);

$results = $service->files->listFiles(array(
  'pageSize' => 10,
  'fields' => 'files(name)'
));

foreach ($results->getFiles() as $file) {
  echo $file->getName() . "\n";
}
?>
