THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN SHUTDOWN, CEASED, SHOT, STABBED, ETC
Why?
I’m shutting down this project due to spam concerns, lack of time, and because it can be done a lot better.
Next Steps
http://myspaceapi.info It’s not live, and i have no idea when i’ll start or finish it, but i’m aiming for an end of the year launch. I’ve realized a lot of flaws in both the execution and direction of this project, and will release a web based service / api that i hope better meets the actual needs of users vs a class of functions i toss together as time permits i hope to release a full fledged api for myspace. a big thanx to Design Is Fuel. They’ve pointed me into a much better direction and i think everyone will be happy with the results.
the class as it stands is open source – basically that means everything you can download from this page is yours and the web’s.
To everyone that contributed : Don’t worry i’m axing the entire class and working from the ground up. but please send me your info if it’s not listed so i can add it. once the api gets up i’ll release a developers resource.
—–here’s the old page
This version is released as is.
After trying to play catch up with myspace i’ve chosen to rewrite the entire class. this should hopefully allow for a better application. this version was released on june 18, 2007, and is the last version to be released before the rewrite.
You’ll notice this version includes what is the start of documentation. from this date forward i’ll include the entire documentation site as part of the zip.

Contributing
I love it when other people make functions, keeps me from having to. If your trying to write a function and it doesn’t work – contact me.
Please send any code as a php file. I try to fix any broken functions that are sent to me, and include or update all functions sent to me.
Common Questions
