Yahoo! Grabber

Me presents the Yahoo! Grabber. Since I've seen many requests over the internet for this one, I wrote a little class to do just this: grab your Yahoo! address book, and since this is one of my favorite forums, I decided to share it with the world :)

Quote:

Yahoo Grabber v1.1

Allows you to log into Yahoo! and fetch the address book in CSV format.
This class is designed to work only with PHP >= 5.0 with the CURL extension enabled.

This library may be used as-is, or extended by a 3rd party, as long as it is used
for non-profit purposes and this copyright notice remains intact. If you do need to use it
for commercial purposes, contact me via the e-mail address specified below and we'll talk about it.

Enjoy it, and if you need to say thanks, you can do it here

Works great!
For people that only want the e-mail addresses and not the other stuff, i wrote this little function:

PHP Code:


			
                // get the address book, the login succeeded

    $address_book_csv = $yahoo->get_address_book();



    echo '<pre>';

    //print_r( $address_book_csv );

    $i = 0;

    while($i <= (count($address_book_csv) - 1))

    {

        echo($address_book_csv[$i]['email'] . '<br>');

        $i++;

    }

    echo '</pre>';

PHP Code:


			
while($i <= (count($address_book_csv) - 1))

could be rewritten as:

PHP Code:


			
while($i < count($address_book_csv))

You can show what ever you want, that's why I chose to return an array of values

PS: the post editor has some serious problems when replying.

And new features here:

//print_r( $address_book_csv );
$i = 0;
while($i < count($address_book_csv))
{
echo($address_book_csv[$i]['first'] . ' ');
echo($address_book_csv[$i]['middle'] . ' ');
echo($address_book_csv[$i]['last'] . ' ');
echo($address_book_csv[$i]['email'] . '<br>');
$i++;
}
echo '</pre>';
and nick and etc.. etc... :)
