Google Adword PHP client library couldn't connect to host

Question

Im working on connecting my website to connect to Google Adwords to create ads and campains depending up on the products in my site. I tried connecting by sending direct curl request and parse the received SOAP response. But that is too becoming complex for each request. So i tried using the PHP client library provided in Google Code. But none of the example is working correctly. I changed the user account details in auth.ini file but still on excecuting the example files it says

Failed to get authToken. Reason: couldn't connect to host'.

I tried running the scripts in different servers but still getting the same error.

Following is the code to fetch all ads from Google adwords and this is a example file from Client library

$path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../src';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $path);

require_once 'Google/Api/Ads/AdWords/Lib/AdWordsUser.php';

try {
  // Get AdWordsUser from credentials in "../auth.ini"
  // relative to the AdWordsUser.php file's directory.
  $user = new AdWordsUser();

  // Log SOAP XML request and response.
  $user->LogDefaults();

  // Get the AdGroupAdService.
  $adGroupAdService = $user->GetAdGroupAdService();

  $adGroupId = (float) '01';

  // Create selector.
  $selector = new Selector();
  $selector->fields = array('Id', 'AdGroupId', 'Status');
  $selector->ordering = array(new OrderBy('Id', 'ASCENDING'));

  // Create predicates.
  $adGroupIdPredicate = new Predicate('AdGroupId', 'IN', array($adGroupId));
  // By default disabled ads aren't returned by the selector. To return them
  // include the DISABLED status in a predicate.
  $statusPredicate =
      new Predicate('Status', 'IN', array('ENABLED', 'PAUSED', 'DISABLED'));
  $selector->predicates = array($adGroupIdPredicate, $statusPredicate);

  // Get all ads.
  $page = $adGroupAdService->get($selector);

  // Display ads.
  if (isset($page->entries)) {
    foreach ($page->entries as $adGroupAd) {
      printf("Ad with id '%s', type '%s', and status '%s' was found.\n",
          $adGroupAd->ad->id, $adGroupAd->ad->AdType, $adGroupAd->status);
    }
  } else {
    print "No ads were found.\n";
  }
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Inside catch exception';
  print $e->getMessage();
}

and in the settings.ini file

DEFAULT_SERVER = "https://adwords-sandbox.google.com"

; AUTH_SERVER = "<SERVER>"

In auth.ini file My Google account's username and password are set correctly.

Can someone help me in getting this issue fixed.

Thanks

It's the AUTH_SERVER setting, not DEFAULT_SERVER, that indicates where authentication requests are being sent. This should be at the bottom of settings.ini but is normally commented out so that the default setting of https://www.google.com is used. You should check that AUTH_SERVER is commented out and that you can connect to https://www.google.com.
