Well, dispite trying, I've not been able to do that, hence commenting here =/

Based on that output, you should be able to figure out what you need to use in your foreach loop.

This is my output for print_r($photos);

In this exact post, you'll see that the output of this method has changed to bring it more in line with the actual results of the API call. What do you get when you run print_r($photos)?

Hi Dan.

I'm using the following code:

$photos = $f->photosets_getPhotos($setid);
if(!empty($photos))
{
foreach($photos['photo'] as $photo)
{
$photoURL = 'buildPhotoURL($floto, "original") . '">';
echo $photoURL;
}
}

and I'm getting this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

I've seen others having this issue. Annoyingly when searching for PHP errors on Google, on tends to stumble upon a lot of websites that are having that issue, rather than discussions for possible resolutions…

If I change the code to something like:

foreach($photos as $photo)
{
$floto = $photo['photo'];
$photoURL = 'buildPhotoURL($floto, "original") . '">';
echo $photoURL;
}

Then my output is

Any suggestions?

You're welcome! I'm glad it is useful.

I've thought about it. I might come out with something that uses the existing class as a data access backend with the objects built ontop of it.

I just wanted to say a thank you. I needed a quick and easy way to grab data from the flickr API and yours did just the trick.

Out of interest, will be creating a new version one day that is more strict with the data, e.g. return objects from methods, not arrays, etc?

That should work if you have a valid token with write permissions. Use auth_checkToken() to make sure it's all good. Also, you might try setting the third parameter in the phpFlickr() constructor to true. That will make it spit out any errors it comes across.
