Well, Flickr has just added Geocoding to their website. The interface is completely awesome. Kudos to them.
One of the Flickr devs just posted that they're about to add geocoding API calls as well, so when those come out, I'll push out an update as quickly as I can. Hang in there!
After ignoring it for quite a while, I finally tracked down the problem in the Authentication Example (Thanks Dawn!). It was a dumb mistake of mine with the authentication callback script.
Somehow, while I wasn't looking, Flickr pushed out a bunch of new methods. I'm in the process of implementing them and I should have an update out this weekend. I'll also allow you to easily choose between the original XML parser and the new SAXY Parser. Sorry that these methods haven't been implemented yet.
I've just put up a new beta version of phpFlickr. I've implemented a rather large fix to the XML problems that were plauging it before. If you were having troubles with the XML parser puking when it got to non-english or unusual characters, this is the release for you! Try it out and see if […]
I recently started a new Open-Source project on SourceForge.net that I thought I'd mention here. I don't know how many phpFlickr users have used SourceForge for projects, but this project is designed to take the pain out of creating a new file release. It is simply a PHP script to be run from […]

Dathan Vance Pattishall, one of the Flickr Devs, has posted the following email to the Flickr API mailing list:
We are talking about adding more API methods, maybe this would be a good thread to start a vote on what API methods flickr is missing, or what additions are desired.
I'll bring API additions up in our […]
My server has been behaving badly over the last couple of days. I've taken some steps that I hope will help. Hopefully it's fixed for now.
In case you don't follow the Flickr API mailing list, they've just implemented a new way to sort your searches. You can now pass the value "Relevance" into the sort parameter of photos_search() if you are searching by tag or by text. The method will return (obviously) the most relevant photos to your search.
I've just put up version 1.4.3 of phpFlickr for you to download. The guys at Flickr just put out a new method to display the most interesting photos of a day. I've implemented it as interestingness_getList(). If you go to the interestingness example, you can see it in action. One thing […]
