Integrating Flickr Photostreams with PHP

There is new tutorial from Vikram Vasvani, published on Zend Developer Zone, presenting how to integrate Flickr API into Zend Framework based application.

The really good stuff, though, is hidden behind the scenes. Like many Web 2.0 applications, Flickr exposes its data to the public via a REST API, making it possible to develop customized applications that run on top of the base service. This REST API allows access to a number of important functions, including photo searching, tagging and uploading; photoset retrieval; contact retrieval; and panda recommendations. It’s also pretty easy to integrate this REST API into a PHP application – and this article will show you how!

In the tutorial Vikram shows how to use Zend_Rest_Client component to call Flickr REST API methods and create simple photo gallery.
