The demo is sharp and this tutorial is great. You from Chicago? I found the problem, even though I have a Pro account I still needed to change the Privacy and Permission settings for the original images. "Who can access your original image files?" Ahh! What a relief... it was making my head hurt! Kind regards, Dave Thanks for the snappy response Ben! The demo is sharp and this tutorial is great. You from Chicago?

To answer your question, I am almost positive that you need a flickr pro account to use url_o. This is because Flickr for some reason limits the ability to pull the original full sized image for regular users. If you do have a pro account and are still having issues, feel free to email me and I will gladly try to help you out. Hey Dave,

You're demo is also broken. Maybe this is something that Flickr has recently changed? I can't find any other info other than what the API says.

I've also updated the tutorial to reflect this fix.

I've followed the tutorial through but can't get it working.. I've put my (non-pro account) API key into the code, moved the img src code into the right place but when I try loading it on my local xampp server I get an error.. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in K:\xampp\htdocs\darkcrimson.php on line 47 where line 47 is Can you / someone spot what is wrong? I'd love this to work! Looks spot on for what I want to do and you code was fairly easy to follow.. I thought! :-) Any help would be great, thanks Hi, I hope you may be able to help..

I've changed the API to my own (a non-pro Flickr account), and copied the src= code block in, but (running on Xampp if it makes any difference) get a parse error.. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in F:\xampp\htdocs\myfile.php on line 50 Do you know how to fix this? I can't see where the error is! Any help greatly appreciated. p.s. Shouldn't it be $photo_title = $photo['title']; rather than $photo_title = $photo['secret']; ? Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response and confusion:

I actually was missing a line in that code block where the urlencode is used on the $params variable.

$encoded_params = array(); should be proceeded by:

foreach ($params as $k => $v){ $encoded_params[] = urlencode($k).’=’.urlencode($v); }

I'm not a big PHP person, so I'm not sure what I'd use to normalize these params before concatenation to the URL. Thanks!
