phpFlickr 3.0 Released

Dan — Thu, 13 May 2010 07:33:23 +0000

I've just released version 3.0 of phpFlickr. As the major version number increase suggests, this version has some pretty big background changes. I've totally eliminated the use of PEAR libraries in the plugin. Those libraries caused problems for some people and they were too much work to keep up to date.

Since I've changed a lot of stuff in the background, it may cause problems if you drop this version into your existing applications. Please test the library to make sure that it doesn't break anything in your app.

As always, you can download the files from the phpFlickr Google Code page.

phpFlickr 2.3.1

I have just updated the library to include every publicly available API call. This includes collections and pandas (and some other useful calls). Enjoy!

phpFlickr 2.3.0.1

Dan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 06:29:09 +0000

I've put up a new version of phpFlickr to include all API methods and new arguments for existing methods. Below, I've posted a list of all of the methods that have changed. Both the input and output may have changed, so if your app uses one of these methods, be sure that upgrading to this won't totally break it. If you don't need any of the new methods or arguments, you probably don't need to upgrade to this version.

I've decided to stop using SourceForge for file releases because of their awful interface for creating and uploading file releases. I will now be using Google Code for file releases and forum.

phpFlickr 1.5.2 released

Dan — Mon, 15 May 2006 22:17:57 +0000

I've just put up version 1.5.2 of my class up on SourceForge. This version fixes a minor bug in contacts_getList() and contacts_getPublicList. It also adds the new privacy_filter argument to photosets_getPhotos. If neither of these affects you, there isn't much reason to update.

If you see any API methods or arguments that I haven't implemented yet, please send me an email to let me know that I've missed something. Sometimes Flickr doesn't announce new functionality for a while (if ever).

phpFlickr 1.5.1

Dan — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 02:36:34 +0000

I've just released version 1.5.1 of phpFlickr. This implements the new flickr.photos.comments.getList method. You can finally display your photos' comments on your site, if you so desire. The function name is, of course, photos_comments_getList().

Version 1.5 released!

Dan — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 15:18:48 +0000

I've just posted version 1.5 of phpFlickr for download. In this version, you'll find a few new methods. I've implemented the flickr.groups.search method (which I was somehow missing), in addition to the ability to use HTTP Proxy servers with the "setProxy('proxy', 'port')" method. Another exciting feature is the ability to support 23 (a European-based photo sharing site) now that they have released a Flickr compatible API.

Update: You'll find information about using proxy servers and using 23's service in the "Other notes" section in the readme file or in the documentation.

Version 1.4.2 released!

Dan — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 23:03:21 +0000

I've just posted phpFlickr version 1.4.2. This release fixes several bugs for Windows users (thanks to Allan Larsen). I'm also happy to mention that Flickr has released their photo deletion API call to the public. You can now use the photos_delete(photoid) function to delete a photo. Obviously, you should do this with care because once you do this, your photo is gone. Also, you should only let apps that you completely trust to ask for "delete" privileges. It'd be a trifling matter to delete all of your photos without asking you nicely. It's not that I expect that behavior from the Flickr API developer community…I'm just saying.

phpFlickr 1.4.1 is out!

Dan — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 01:15:21 +0000

You can now go to the download page at SourceForge to get the newest version of phpFlickr. This version fixes a few bugs, including the bugs that were causing PHP notices.

Important: The devs at Flickr have added a parameter to the flickr.groups.pools.getPhotos method. To keep in line with their documentation, I had to stick it in the middle of the parameters for the phpFlickr::groups_pools_getPhotos() function. It's now the third parameter. This means that if you are using this function and you're using more than the first two parameters you'll break your app if you upgrade. I understand that this is annoying, but it's probably for the best for the long run. If you don't want to use this new "user_id" parameter and you're using more than two parameters with that function, just add a null value to the function call. For example:
$p = $f->groups_pools_getPhotos("46744914@N00", "red", "license", 1);
would become:
$p = $f->groups_pools_getPhotos("46744914@N00", "red", NULL, "license", 1);

I hope this doesn't cause too much confusion.

Fastest release yet! Avast!

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 to get it to work. To learn how to work with this, check out the new "Uploading Photos" documentation. As usual, contact me if there are any bugs. I didn't have dozens of pictures to upload quite yet, but I'm sure some of you do. Let me know how it goes.

Oh, and today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Don't forget to swash your buckles.

Update: I only realized today (9/22) that I saved this post as a draft (on 9/19) and never published it. Oops! Oh well, I hope you still knew to talk like a pirate.

phpFlickr 1.3.3 released

Dan — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 20:45:35 +0000

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 has a major bug that will need to be fixed, the next version of phpFlickr will be a major release with support for uploading.
