Gluestick PHP library

[Justin]

Gluestick is a minimalist PHP library for interfacing with the Glue
API, it's only 43 sloc and using it couldn't be more simple.

Here's an example, looking up the Neverending Story with object/get:

$glue = new Glue('username', 'password');
$response = $glue->object->get(array(
'objectId' => 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
The_Neverending_Story',
));

And then $response contains the XML response.

Here's the project page: http://github.com/jdp/gluestick/tree/master
And direct download: http://github.com/jdp/gluestick/zipball/master

Let me know if you find any bugs :)

Thanks
Justin

Gluestick is now also a Ruby gem. You can install the gem from Github.
The PHP version is still available from the php branch, and it's
linked to in the readme.

So I think I may have stumbled across a bug. When you make the call to
something like:

$response = $glue->object->get(array(
'objectId' => 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
The_Neverending_Story',
));

PHP registers the word "object" as a reserved word and returns an
error. Any thoughts on a workaround? Or am I doing this wrong?

cheers,

Hi Mike,

I just tested that exact code, and it works fine. Maybe it's a version
issue? What version of PHP are you using? The test version is 5.2.6.
As a last resort you could use literals, like this:

$response = $glue->{'object'}->get(array(
'objectId' => 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neverending_Story'
));

Not as good-looking though.

Hey Justin,

I fixed the issue. I attempted a custom PHP build with my host but I messed it up somehow. Anyways, everything is back to normal now. Thanks for the help.

cheers,
Mike
