One of the things I’ve been going to do for a long time is make a WordPress plugin, you know just to prove I could. But for  the longest time I didn’t have an idea. Then I made a whole bunch of web mashups with PHP and I decided after all that a WordPress plugin would be easy…

Far too much work has gone into these classes. I’d much rather be working on a real project for a real organization, rather than forcing myself to write PHP.  I don’t even like PHP, I just knew it was available on most webhosts…

Now in 2019 a lot has changed, APIs that I used may no longer allow me to use them or at least they are not returning the data they used to return. I do not have the time and energy to fix this code, assuming it even can be fixed. Maybe I’ll get to it someday but right now you’re welcome to download it and look at pictures of how it used to work, but it is not running as well as it did eight years ago…

Although I took a long break I did return to writing PHP. I’m still not enamored with PHP, but I’ve put too much time into it now to leave my code missing key features. The features I’ve been working on is support for collections of DVDs instead of just CDs. It will work for collections of anything, but I just decided to demo these two popular media formats…

Is not what I want to be doing now, or ever. I don’t like PHP. I never wanted to program in PHP. I’m just unemployed so I decided to build something and PHP is available on my webhost. Not finding very good examples or code out there I ended up writing a lot of PHP. So much I just started adding features and methods that might be of use to someone someday…
