PHP Script to Display last 5 thumbnails...

sdmeyers · February 8, 2005

Hi,

I always thought that flickr thing was cool where you could embed thumbnails of your last five images on a webpage, so after playing around with the XML-RPC API for a bit I decided to write a PHP Script that emulates that.

I thought I'd post the first working version of this script for anyone who's interested to use, comment upon, etc.

Some notes...

This uses the XML-RPC for PHP stuff from http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net/
Because of all the back and forth XML-RPC stuff going on it takes some time to run this (speed is relative on lot's of things). I plan on taking this and caching the results on my website so it doesn't run whenever someone hit's my page (that's not good for anyone). Then this script can be run every 24 hours or so to keep the cache upto date. Ideally Sumgmug will someday create something like this (Hint, hint ;-).
One idea would be to just create a link and run this general script when you add new images (Yes, that requires an extra step... of course someone could add a "run script when uploading files" type of option to any uploading applications.)

Anyway, enjoy:
[php]

Revisions to code
I've already made a few tweaks to the code listing (i.e. I had my nick hardwired into the URLs I created <

>). I decided to try to keep the latest version of this script available for download here. Any additions or changes should be noted at http://www.mydogateit.com/tech/. I'll also ping this forum for any major changes.

Ive been looking for a modification of a script like this for some time now.
All places i ask seem that the webmaster does not want to pass along the information.

I mentioned it was a slight mod to this type script in the way of

It will not call up previous / recent IMAGES
instead i am looking for a script that will call up
MOST RECENT POSTS
to my bulletine board
and display these results on a different page.

Does anyone know where i can find this which i can mod to fit my site?

USing this script
Hello I am using this script and its giving me this error

Fault: Code: 16 Reason 'No CURL support compiled in.'
Fault: Code: 16 Reason 'No CURL support compiled in.'

Any Ideas?

Yep... PHP need to have CURL support. CURL is program that handles file-transfers that is common in the Unix/Linux world. If you are using PHP on Windows that may the problem (not sure if CURL is available there). Either way whoever compiled PHP didn't --include-curl.

Thank you I will talk to our support people and see if they can instal CURL in our server

I was searching for someone who was using CURL to do tricks with SmugMug because I'm puzzled about the results I'm getting!
As you can see from the code, I've tried a couple of things - using GET vs. POST, etc. Same results. It almost works! I get back the page, but not with the Slideshow style! It's like TemplateID=8 isn't taking. When I paste the URL from the CURLOPT_URL like below into a browser, it works as expected with the style as Slideshow. But when I run this PHP script below, it comes up defaulting to the SmugMug style.
I'm going to keep looking into this, but any ideas for troubleshooting this behavior?

ini_set('display_errors','1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors','1');
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

$ch = curl_init();    // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://nimai.smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?origin=http://nimai.smugmug.com%2Fkeyword%2FWHS-cheerleading-2007&TemplateID=8" );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10); // times out after 11s
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // set POST method
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "origin=http://nimai.smugmug.com%2Fkeyword%2FWHS-cheerleading-2007&TemplateID=8"); // add POST fields
$result = curl_exec($ch); // run the whole process
curl_close($ch); 

echo $result;
//echo htmlspecialchars( $result,  ENT_QUOTES);

THANK YOU!

Does anyone know if the php in the first post still works? I'm thinking of adapting it for a project that I'm working on.

PHP Script to Display last 5 thumbnails...
