Using Google API with PHP

[madisoniv.com]

So I tried creating a PHP page that uses the Google API to access your Google Spreadsheets. However, I'm having some trouble getting it to work on x10Hosting. I tried it on my friend's server, and it works fine, however, I get an error when I try running it on here. My code, error, and expected output are below. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

CODE:
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets');

$authService = Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient("******", "******", $authService);
$gdClient = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets($httpClient);


$feed = $gdClient->getSpreadsheetFeed();
echo "== Available Spreadsheets ==<br>";
printFeed($feed);
$input = 0;
$currKey = split('/', $feed->entries[$input]->id->text);
$currKey = $currKey[5];

function printFeed($feed)
{
$i = 0;
foreach($feed->entries as $entry) {
if ($entry instanceof Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_CellEntry) {
echo $entry->title->text .' '. $entry->content->text . "<br>";
} else if ($entry instanceof Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_ListEntry) {
echo $i .' '. $entry->title->text .' | '. $entry->content->text . "<br>";
} else {
echo $i .' '. $entry->title->text . "<br>";
}
$i++;
}
}

ERROR:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException' with message 'Unable to Connect to ssl://www.google.com:443. Error #: ' in /home/ivcf/public_html/Zend/Gdata/ClientLogin.php:141 Stack trace: #0 /home/ivcf/public_html/google.php(9): Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient('madisoniv.com', 'Urb4na09', 'wise') #1 {main} thrown in /home/ivcf/public_html/Zend/Gdata/ClientLogin.php on line 141


EXPECTED OUTPUT: (what I get when I run it on my friend's server)
== Available Spreadsheets ==
0 Website
Edit:
Does this have something to do with not having ports open? I did a little looking around and it sounds like free hosts don't generally open up ports. If that's the case, is there any way to request a port be opened so a connection could be made from my site to Google?

Most ports on the free servers are closed to stop abuse and for security reasons. The only way you could do this is by ordering a VPS
