I wrote a small patch for Addicted to Flickr that adds support for the flickr.photos.search method.

How to Apply

Download and save the patch, then copy it to the same directory where you've put class.flickr.php. Then:

patch class.flickr.php class.flickr.php.patch

The output from this should be something like:

patching file class.flickr.php

This all assumes you're using a friendly OS X or Linux system; if you're running Windows, you're on your own.

Examples of Use

The main Addicted to Flickr site has plenty of examples; look at the getUsersPublicPhotos example and substitute in a call to the newly patched-in getTagSearchPhotos method, and you'll have a good start. For example:

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','aircanada','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'aircanada'.

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','aircanada,airplane','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'aircanada' and 'airplane'.

$result = $flickr->getTagSearchPhotos('','charlottetown,london','all',1,15);

This will return the most recent 15 photos tagged 'charlottetown' or 'london'.
