Google Spreadsheets Get Cell Comments/Notes - zend-framework

Question

I'm having a nasty time learning how to use the gdata api and zend framework.
I've basically got a spreadsheet that I want the data from.
I've managed to get it into an array that I'm happy with using the following code (most likely over bloated)
<?php
/* Load the Zend Gdata classes. */
function number_ending($number){
$suff = array("","st","nd","rd","th");
$index = intval($number);
if($index > 4){
$index = 4;
}elseif($index < 1){
$index = 0;
}
return ($number . $suff[$index]);
}
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_AuthSub');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Gbase');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets');
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
$username = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$password = "XXXXXXXXX";
$key = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Init Zend Gdata service
$service = Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($username, $password, $service);
$spreadSheetService = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets($client);
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Example 1: Get cell data
$query = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_DocumentQuery();
$query->setSpreadsheetKey($key);
$feed = $spreadSheetService->getWorksheetFeed($query);
$entries = $feed->entries[0]->getContentsAsRows();
var_dump($entries);
exit;
//sort the headings out
$headingRow = array_slice($entries[0], 1, 6);
$headings = array();
reset($headingRow);
$month = key($headingRow);
foreach ($headingRow as $key => $value) {
$headings[] = number_ending($value);
}
//sort the content
unset($entries[0]);
$people = array();
foreach($entries as $k => $person){
$person = array_slice($person, 0, 6);
$formatted = array();
foreach ($person as $key => $value) {
$formatted[] = $value;
}
$people[$formatted[0]] = $formatted;
array_shift( $people[$formatted[0]] );
}
foreach ($people as $pkey => $person) {
foreach ($person as $key => $date) {
$people[$pkey][$headings[$key]] = $date;
unset($people[$pkey][$key]);
}
}
However The data that I'm getting back doesn't contain any of the notes/comments assigned to that cell.
All I'm getting returned is

I was wondering how I'm supposed to go about that to get it out as well?

Use google-apps-script: Create a web app and pull the values via google apps script into your code. --- I suspect this is the only option. I would love to be proved wrong.
As far as I know, gdata style api does not support getting comments, fonts, color etc. But you can grab style data by getting the sheet as HTML. Bit messy, but works fine.
