Just in case you can find SqlHelper.cs which comes in Data Access Application Block for .NET v2.

A few days ago I was working on a PHP project. I did the usual edit, upload and refresh to see my changes. But instead of seeing the results of my new code I see a “undefined function” error. That’s odd I thought. So, I check my text editor to see that I was in the right folder and I was. I check my ftp client to be sure I uploaded to the right directory and I did. Humm???

What happened?

Sorry, for that lack of any posts this month but I have been busy working on other projects. So what are these other projects?

The first project is Top Secret but when it’s in tune it’s going to score.

Then there’s phpYahoo which I have been plugging away at.

At some point a few weeks ago Facebook released an updated API so I have been toying with that as well as working on a new WordPress Widget for RememberTheMilk. So far both of these projects haven’t gotten very far.

This brings me back to phpYahoo and the OurCity Mashup form Yahoo! I got the bright Idea that I could build a similar app using Yahoo! (Answers, Travel etc), del.icio.us, Flickr and UpComing.org. Again I have nothing to publicly show for it.

Oh and that reminds me I started another project to build an UpComing.org class library.

And lastly theres the Last.fm class that may actually be releasable.

So, I have been doing stuff just nothing I am ready to share except for phpYahoo.

I have started a Google Projects Page for my phpYahoo project as well as a new demo site.

I did some extensive work on the class recently by adding caching as well as expanding the search functions to allow searching by either a single string parameter or and array of parameters.

*updated - 2007-01-26*
phpYahoo is a class written in PHP5 that act’s as a wrapper for Yahoo’s! Web Search API. Methods process the response XML and return an array of data to make development easier. With this class you can search for Yahoo! Web content, Yahoo! Videos or Yahoo! Images.

This class follows a similar pattern like phpNapster class.

phpNapster is an Unofficial Napster Search API written in PHP5. The origin comes from here and I have merely wrapped it up in a neat package.

This class allows you to search Napster via Artist, Album or Track but be fore warned that if the results come back empty Napster displays an HTTP 404 type of error page and the SimpleXML Object tends to barf on it self.
