Licensing

phpViddler is dual-licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses. The details of these licenses are included with the zip file.

Third-party software included

• XML Library by Keith Devens, version 1.2b (optional)

At present we include the XML Library as a means to parse the REST API’s responses, though it is configurable to turn off for applications that already have an XML Parser. See readme for details.

PHP 5

Included is a class Php5viddler which will raise exceptions (supported in PHP 5) if an error is returned from the API. If you use Phpviddler, you need to check the response to see if there is an error node.

Usage

$v = new Phpviddler('your api key');

// Find videos by user
$videos = $v->videos_listbyuser('kyleslat');
foreach($videos['video_list']['video'] as $video) {
  echo $v->video_getEmbed($video['id']);
}
