Upcoming.org Web Services Client for PHP (Updated)
Upcoming rocks. Really, it does. But the lack of a PHP web services client kind of hinders things. To that end, in two hours of frantic coding (and a further 40 minutes of not very frantic coding), I've come out with something.
Upcoming.org Web Services Client.
It's aimed at php5, but you can use PHP_Compat. Also, you need XML_Serializer's XML_Unserializer, and HTTP_Request.
If you do not have either of these packages on your server, it's dead easy: download, extract, and then upload to a /PEAR/ directory. The next thing: make sure that /PEAR/ is in your include_path - use ini_set() to do it :)
Version 1.1.2
Two step install:

Would you be interested in proposing this for inclusion to PEAR? I would help you with the proposal if it interests you.
Certainly! The only reason I haven't considered it at the moment is because the PEAR community seem a little closed about such things.
That's a sweet API. I am very interested in creating a Flash interface for it. The only thing I would need would be a crossdomain.xml, it's a flash security thing (yahoo has it set up too, http://developer.yahoo.net/faq/). Read up on it at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14213.
Again, great work.
nice work! I was trying to get tags out of upcoming events but there seems to be no way of doing so..? any ideas..?
The tags stuff in the API isn't yet implemented. You can always ask really nicely.
I'd second Ryan's suggestion of proposing it for PEAR. I just had my Services_Technorati module accepted into PEAR a month or so ago and the process was pretty straightforward.
Hey, tags support was added to the API.
:D well it is *now* but it wasn't then!
where is the API hosted the AU address no longer works?
The download sites for this package seem dead. Is it still around? Does anyone know where I can get it?
Please make the code available, I'd like to have a look at it.
