How to post photos in flickr through API and PHP

Hi All,

Now its very easy to upload photos in flickr from your own site or application.  This can be done through the help of  phpFlickr class.  This can be downloaded from http://phpflickr.com or directlink for downloading  is http://code.google.com/p/phpflickr/downloads/list

Including this class in following code you can easily upload images in your flickr account.

<?php
include(“phpFlickr.php”);

$api_key= “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”;

$api_secret= “XXXXXXXXXXXX”;

$flickr = new phpFlickr($api_key, $api_secret,true);

$flickr->auth(“write”);

//you can use relative path here too like /home/example/public_html/snaps/a.jpg
$path=”a.jpg”;

$response=$flickr->sync_uploa d(“$path”,”put your description here”,”mytag1,mytag2″,1,1,1);

//returns the id of the image that is posted in flickr
if($response)
{
header(“Location:http://flickr.com”);
exit();
}

?>

While executing this code, flickr  asks you for a yahoo login (If not logged in).After login it  asks  you to allow the application to access your flickr accaount. Once you allow this, the image is posted in flickr and the script gives you the image id of the posted image.

Then it redirects you to the flickr to show the picture you posted.

Thanks!
