ZipPlease PHP API example

gistfile1.php

<?php
//this file would be at /demo/flickr.php
 
	$zipPleaseAPIEndpoint = "http://www.zipplease.com/api/zips";
	$uniqueZipName = "zipPleaseFlickrDemo_" + uniqid() + ".zip";
 
	// Create the JSON payloy to send to ZipPlease
	$zipRequest = json_encode(array(
		'accountKey' => "6B5qClA0SG2er7x7PmZTK4QU", // Not real.
		'accountSecret' => "jHxRb2y3CevJyROL96hYKcE0oAI", // Get your own.
		'zipName' => $uniqueZipName,
		'files' => $_POST['data'], // Incoming request from the front end
		'compress' => false // already jpegs
	));

	$params = array(
		'http' => array(
			'method' => 'POST',
			'content' => $zipRequest
		)
	);

	// Send the request to ZipPlease.
	$ctx = stream_context_create($params);
	$fp = @fopen($zipPleaseAPIEndpoint, 'rb', false, $ctx);

	if (!$fp) {
		throw new Exception("Problem with $url, $php_errormsg");
	}
	$response = @stream_get_contents($fp);
	if ($response === false) {
		throw new Exception("Problem reading data from $url, $php_errormsg");
	}

	// The response includes a URL where the Zip can be downloaded.
	// We'll send that URL back to the front end.
	return $response;
?>

I updated the original code after alixaxel informed me about jQuery sending the object in the POST variable images rather than data. However, I still cannot get my test to work (as mentioned in my answer)... So you should pull the changes from the original.
