Zend Framework and Flickr

Sunday, March 5. 2006

As you most likely know, I have been working with Zend on the Zend Framework for a couple of months now.

The bulk on my tasks there have been working on the Zend_Service* set of classes. This includes the Amazon, Flickr and Yahoo! APIs.

So, as I'm getting more and more into flickr (see http://flickr.com/dshafik for my photo stream) I have been exploring and I saw a very neat set of images which were composites of 50 random flickr images for a given tag.

Well, I liked this enough, I decided that I could do it on-the-fly using PHP, ImageMagick and of course... the Zend Framework.

So, if you could turn your attention to the Flickr Compositor demo and have some fun.

An example image for "Hello" looks like this:
Hello

Or, perhaps a little more fun, "Nude" (thanks to Chris Shiflett for pointing this tag out, I've had lots of pretty results):
Nude

Finally, what everybody wants to see: The Flickr Compositor Source

I was looking over the programmer's manual last night, and I have to say the chapter on the Zend_Service API and the REST classes jumped out at me as being in the more interesting category. Thanks for your work on this, and the example application with source code.
