Fastest release yet! Avast!

( Releases )

I've just released version 1.4 of phpFlickr. My new strategy is to put out a new version every day… ok, not really. This release implements uploading. I had planned to take a few days at least to do this, but I was surprised that it only took me about half an hour […]

phpFlickr 1.3.3 released

( Releases )

This version is primarily a bug fix release. There are also two new Flickr methods that I have implemented. Some methods would return inconsistant results if returning a list of one element. This should be fixed in all methods now. If I missed this bug somewhere, let me know.
Unless this version […]

phpFlickr 1.3.2 released!

I recently discovered (thanks to Eliot Shepard) two fairly major bugs. Turns out that since I added the new Auth API (version 1.3), caching hasn't been working. Also, in version 1.3.1, your include folders probably got royally messed up, thanks to a dumb mistake on my part. The good news is that […]

Yahoo and Flickr merge usernames

( News )

Flickr announced today that all new users to Flickr will be created with Yahoo accounts. People with existing Yahoo accounts can create their Flickr username just by logging into the site and people with existing Flickr accounts can link their Flickr and Yahoo accounts.
What this means for you, the developer. If you're using […]

New forums

I've just created some shiny new forums for the phpFlickr website. They're running the spiffy Lussumo Vanilla project. Check it out and be amazed…or at least join up and say hi.

Version 1.3.1 Released

( Releases )

I've put updated version 1.3.1 up for download. This version fixes a documentation error and some behavior in the auth() function. There was a previously undocumented feature that I've now taken advantage of. There were also two functions recently depreciated from the API that I've removed implementation of.
The biggest change is that […]

New links

I've added a new section of links over on the sidebar. I'm going to start posting links to applications that use the phpFlickr class. The first one is a script to generate a tag cloud based on a group of photos by Dan Steingart and it has various settings and options. Go […]

Authentication example

( News )

I've added a new example. This one deals with authentication and will use Flickr's new authentication API to figure out who you are and then it will display the last 36 pictures you posted. Have fun!

Version 1.3 Released - Authentication Support

( News and Releases )

I've just released a feature update for phpFlickr to support Flickr's new Authentication API. I included documentation on the new method in the readme file. I also included a couple of simple scripts (including a callback script) to help you use the authentication as painlessly as possible. I'd suggest using this new […]

New authentication API released

( News )

If you've looked at the new authentication spec, you probably know that it looks a little complex. I'm currently working on adding methods to my class that will support this scheme. Until I get that out, you can keep using the old method (Flickr isn't removing the old method quite yet). I'll […]
