Flickr Recent Photos to HTML with PHP

/ Published in: PHP

Itâ€™s been driving me crazy that thereâ€™s no definitive script written to take out a userâ€™s Flickr recent photos and parse it for formatting into HTML with a larger size than the standard 75 x 75 dimensions that the public_photo.gne Flickr script outputs. So Iâ€™ve written one, using a bit of skill and a snippet of code that someone posted which was kind of going in the same direction but then suddenly stopped and took a hard u-turn, veering off to somewhere stupid, as usual with programmers who know too much. So hereâ€™s a quick run through of what the code does:

Collect the User ID that is added manually and constructs the Feed Links
Get the File contents of the Feed Link once itâ€™s been run
Convert the XML to HTML
Return it to the script for printing or a variable (Choice of the Programmer)

I havenâ€™t tested this on different versions of PHP, all I know is it works for me, and itâ€™s using some pretty simple stuff so it should work fine. Just change the ID to your own or whoeverâ€™s it has to be and it should run.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

function attr($s,$attrname) { 
	// return html attribute
	preg_match_all('#\s*('.$attrname.')\s*=\s*["|\']([^"\']*)["|\']\s*#i', $s, $x);
	if (count($x)>=3) return $x[2][0]; else return "";
}
 
 
function getFlickrFeed($id,$n) {
 
	$urlenc = urlencode("http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=$id&lang=en-us&format=rss_200");
	$url = "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=HHvHTP7h2xGPZ1tDdbq02Q&_render=rss&urlinput2=$urlenc";
	$s = file_get_contents($url);
	preg_match_all('#<item>(.*)</item>#Us', $s, $items);
	$out = "";
	for($i=0;$i<count($items[1]);$i++) {
		if($i>=$n) return $out;
		$item = $items[1][$i];
		preg_match_all('#<link>(.*)</link>#Us', $item, $temp);
		$link = $temp[1][0];
		preg_match_all('#<title>(.*)</title>#Us', $item, $temp);
		$title = $temp[1][0];
		preg_match_all('#<media:thumbnail([^>]*)>#Us', $item, $temp);
		$thumb = attr($temp[0][0],"url");
 
		$thumb2 = explode("_",$thumb);
		$img =  $thumb2[0]."_".$thumb2[1].".jpg";
		//print $img;
		$out.="<a href='$link' target='_blank' title=\"".str_replace('"','',$title)."\"><img src='$img'/></a>";
	}
	return $out;
}
