Basics

Initializing a MySQLicious Session

$delicious = new MySQLicious(string $MySQL_host, string $MySQL_database, string $MySQL_username, string $MySQL_password);

Perform the Actual Mirroring

$delicious->mirror(string $Delicious_username, string $Delicious_password, string $MySQL_table [, string $Delicious_tag]);

• When you use MySQLicious for the first time, a MySQLicious table will be created in the database you've specified. This will be used to store update times for the tag(s) you're mirroring.
• $MySQL_table is the table into which the Delicious bookmarks will be placed. If the table doesn't exist, it will be created.
• %Delicious_tag is the optional tag by which to filter. If it is not specified, all bookmarks will be mirrored.

Advanced Configuration

After initializing a session (before mirroring), there are a few options that can be set.

$delicious->setOutputMode(<mode>);

Alter the output MySQLicious produces. <mode> can be one of the following:

• MYSQLICIOUS_OUTPUT_HTML = HTML mode - use <br /> for line breaks.
• MYSQLICIOUS_OUTPUT_CMD = Command line mode - Use \n (newline) for line breaks.
• MYSQLICIOUS_OUTPUT_NONE = Silent - No output at all. Note that this even suppresses errors, so use with caution!

$delicious->logXml = <true/false>;

Turn on XML logging. This can be used to ensure that MySQLicious is actually making the changes it should be making.

$delicious->forceUpdate = true;

This will cause an update to happen regardless of whether del.icio.us has been updated recently. This is only recommended as a debugging measure. If you use it regularly enough, you may get banned from the Delicious servers.

$delicious->setAPIAddress("http://del.icio.us/apiLoc");

If the address of the del.icio.us API changes and I don't get a new version out quickly, this is an easy way to set point MySQLicious to the right location without having to mess with the code.

$delicious->MySQLiciousDataTable = "PlaceToStoreThings";

If you don't want MySQLicious to store its update data in the MySQLicious table, change that value here.
