of IMDb's "Copyright and Conditions of Use" site before
doing anything with this!

Installation:

There is only one step, and it only counts if you are to be
using mysql-caching:
- Import the SQL-file in the compressed folder into your
database. Do so through tools as phpMyAdmin or others

Usage

If you are using MySQL caching you must connect to MySQL and
select DB before running any processing methods in the class.

Also if you deside to use UTF-8, run these codes:

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

// UTF-8 Fix
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
if($imdb->activate_mysql_cache) {
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
}

Example of getting:

- all info out of one movie (or more):

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

$imdb = new IMDb_Fetch ('The Boondock Saints');
$imdb->all_details = true;
print_r($imdb->get_result_array());

Example of getting:

- rating, name, 4 of the cast and year of production
from X movies:

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

$imdb = new IMDb_Fetch ();
$imdb->from_title = array ('tt0123456', 'The Boondock Saints');
$imdb->add_movie('Disturbia');
$imdb->show_year = true;
$imdb->show_cast = 4;
$imdb->show_rating = true;
print_r($imdb->get_result_array());

Example of getting:

- 10 videos from your Vote History with all details

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

$imdb = new IMDb_Fetch ();
$imdb->add_movie($imdb->get_votehistory('USERID', 10));
$imdb->all_details = true
print_r($imdb->get_result_array());

(Vote history must be public!)

The formating of the results is something you must take
care of on your own.

This seems a nice class. I wrote something similar a couple of years ago. Just have in mind that some servers do not support fopen(); In that case try using CURL. I have a pretty good CURL function that does the job right. Also it sends the 'googlebot' as the useragent to avoid getting banned from some services. If you want any help with it drop me a line.

Hey. Yeah. Ive thought of that some servers doesnt support the fopen-wrapper. So the next version of the class will be based on cURL. I have something ready already, with correct HTTP-headers. But if you let me have a look at yours that would be great. Send me an e-mail @ mikaelb AT mikaelb DOT net

Thanks for commenting.
