You can create a new Google Document by uploading a word processing document, spreadsheet, or presentation. This example is from the interactive Docs.php sample which comes with the library. It demonstrates uploading a file and printing information about the result from the server.
<?php
/**
* Upload the specified document
*
* @param Zend_Gdata_Docs $docs The service object to use for communicating
* with the Google Documents server.
* @param boolean $html True if output should be formatted for display in a
* web browser.
* @param string $originalFileName The name of the file to be uploaded. The
* MIME type of the file is determined from the extension on this file
* name. For example, test.csv is uploaded as a comma separated volume
* and converted into a spreadsheet.
* @param string $temporaryFileLocation (optional) The file in which the
* data for the document is stored. This is used when the file has been
* uploaded from the client's machine to the server and is stored in
* a temporary file which does not have an extension. If this parameter
* is null, the file is read from the originalFileName.
