All praise Leo

Muchos thanks to Leo, who helped me sort out the tag ordering / heirachy business from the delicious results so that it can be put into flickr properly. It got me thinking about why I split the php processing into two separate parts, it made sense at the time; split it up as it does chunks that rely on each service. However that means going back and forth with flash and php. Surely I could just do it all in one php doc and make it easier. There’s no doubt good reasons for not doing this, but hey… constantly learning!

My new thinking on the matter is this; pass the query into the php and let it scrape delicious, pass this straight to flickr, grab the results and parse out the XML. This can then go straight into flash. Simple as, fingers crossed!
