Professional PHP developer

LinkedIn released yesterday their public API. Personally is a long waiting API, one of the services that i most use and and no API was making it very frustrating.

How to start ?

1. Request and API Key
2. Browse the OAuth documentation
3. Interact with Community

For documentation visit the community page.

Just finished a PHP Library that implements Google Translate API.

How it works ?

The Library allows you to translate any phrase from one original language to another.

Usage

GTranslate library allows you to translate any language to another, the usage is fairly simple.

1. You just need to require the library
   1. require(“GTranslate.php”);
2. Instantiate the GTranslate Object
   1. $gt = new Gtranslate;
      
3. Request for a translation
   1. $gt->it_to_en(“Ciao mondo”);
4. 
   

How to

You can call the translation with any country you want, altough there are an available list of translatable coutries, on the languages.ini file. You can tanslate using the abreviation of the country or the full name.

$gt->english_to_german(“Hello”);

or

$gt->en_to_de(“Hello”);

Wil give you the same result.

Download
