Re: Making REST Requests to a web-server like yahoo
That's cool, but you do realise your breaking Yahoo's TOS (and probably google's too) by saving the geocode data to the db? Your better to make the call, and then cache the view, since that complies with their TOS. Plus at the moment, the granulaity of yahoo can sometimes be off - only giving you zip or city level view - if you cache you have a better chance of the data being more accurate in the future as the service improves. Also I'd be happy to provide any code to the mashup project. I'll be working on my upcomming.org code sometime this week.

Heh, interesting, I didn't know that. Of course, it's sort of like how the FBI said I can't copy VHS tapes: they'd never suspect anything unless they searched my apartment, and they would never search my apartment unless they suspected something. Both in the case of the FBI and of Yahoo!, no one has any way of knowing. And actually, Google encourages caching. Yet another reason to favor them over Yahoo! I guess. Your better to make the call, and then cache the view, since that complies with their TOS. But that sort of negates half the purpose, since you can't do custom searching on your own data. Plus at the moment, the granulaity of yahoo can sometimes be off - only giving you zip or city level view - if you cache you have a better chance of the data being more accurate in the future as the service improves. Yeah, cache expiration might be beneficial. Good call. Also I'd be happy to provide any code to the mashup project. I'll be working on my upcomming.org code sometime this week. Sweet.

Re: Making REST Requests to a web-server like yahoo
There might be some class you could add thru vendor to ease using CURL. Using file_get_contents is as direct as using echo. Besides creating a shortcut there is not much to make it easier using cake or anything else for that matter. $xml = file_get_contents( http://api ... ); If you can choose, then use CURL, because it has features like request-timeouts etc. Pretty much like using sockets for server-to-server communication. Hope this helps. On 4/6/07, Tonyz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I read this article on yahoo developer network because I would like in my cake app to display search results from yahoo.

Re: Making REST Requests to a web-server like yahoo
My bad, you're absolutely right about file_get_contents. The more I work with PHP 5 the more I grow to dislike having to do all sorts of hacks and kludges to do the same thing in PHP 4.
