PHP Tumblr

During the big storm tonight, I found myself checking out the Tumblr API while watching the news to make sure I didn’t need to hide in my bathroom.

I’ve been all about PHP wrappers for APIs lately. I whipped up a quick class that grabs a Tumblr account’s data and wrote some functions to do stuff with it.

Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.

It pretty much recreates a simple Tumblr theme. The beauty of this is that it only took four lines of PHP code and four CSS rules to create that output:

PHP:

$tumblr = new PhpTumblr("jaytee");
echo $tumblr->title;
echo $tumblr->description;
$tumblr->display();

CSS:

body {font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif;}
.details {font-size: 8pt;}
dt {font-weight: bold;}
.description {font-style: italic;}

There were h1 and h2’s around the title and description, but I can’t get the markup to show here.
