del.icio.us API working PHP code for Https v1

So I was very frustrated when all of a sudden my del.icio.us api tag cloud stopped working. I managed today to find out why – del.icio.us have a highly secret blog which warned everyone their del.icio.us app would break if they didn’t wake up and smell the SSL.

So today I put together an SSL application for V1 of the del.icio.us https api using PHP. You need to create your URL to call, then throw together your CURL call to the API which is needed to connect via CSS and also send the user agent that del.icio.us requires from you.

Now you should find that your API content is contained in the $xml variable and you can enjoy translating it via the XSL tool of your choice.
