About

The PHP Plugin Suite is a nice collection of PHP functions that lets you instantly add dynamic content to your website. You can crop, scale and resize photos, find a users location with their IP address, even harness the power of Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo and Bit.ly. All without having to mess with any complicated API's. Even better, all of the features can be implemented with a single line of code.

The Plugins

The bit.ly plugin interacts with the bit.ly api allowing you to easily shorten urls, decode short links (to determine where they point), and find out how many times a link has been clicked. It can also generate QR code images as opposed to standard links. Works with both bit.ly and j.mp links.

This plugin includes several image related functions. You can modify an image (resize, crop, scale), get information (dimensions, type & file size), or automatically create a display or a list of all images in a given directory.

This is a collection of location based functions that can get a users location based on their ip address, return advanced details on a specific location with the Yahoo PlaceFinder api, or dynamically create maps (as images or with javascript) using the Google Maps api.

The Twitter plugin will display a variable number tweets from a specified user. The display can be easily customized with CSS and includes an optional setting to display the timeline using HTML5 elements. The download comes with a stylsheet which you can use as is, or easily tweak to match your own site.

The video plugin can take a YouTube or Vimeo url and return an array of info such as a thumbnail image, title, length, tags, views, ratings, etc. It can even automatically embed the video into the page.

This plugin interacts with the Google Weather API and nicely displays the current weather conditions as well as a 4 day forecast. It works great right "out of the box" but the display can also be easily adjusted with simple CSS.
