Yahoo! Search API - The PHP Example

Post by onion2k »

Has anyone here downloaded the new Yahoo! search API (http://developer.yahoo.net/download/)? Theres an PHP example in it written by Rasmus Lerdorf (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/85), the bloke who started the PHP project many years ago.

And its really, really horrible code. Its a proper nightmare. In my opinion of course.

I just thought it was strange.

Very rough thing I knocked together to get a better idea of the API. Its a ripoff of http://www.googlebattle.com. And I've ignored the 5000 search limit, so I suspect it'll die horribly if its used a lot. Heheh...
