Xfire-PHP

Introduction

What the hell is Xfire-PHP? You may ask yourself this question but it's mainly for an aid for developers to make something out of their and other's Xfire statistics. It allows all sorts of information to be gathered about a particular username including their favourite servers.

XML Version

Xfire now have their own XML feeds, to access this use http://www.xfire.com/xml/ username / feedtype /

A list of feedtypes are:

• profile - Basic information, (that's on the top bit of the profile page
• gameplay - How much of what games you've been playing
• servers - The user's favourited servers
• gamerig - The user's gaming machine
• friends - Friends list
• screenshots - In-game screenshots the user has uploaded
• live - Live information, including the game the user is playing

Array Version

Xfire-PHP now entirely consists of using PHP arrays, you will need to program your page in PHP to find Xfire-PHP useful (unlike when we did our own XML feed). But it is much faster than the old Xfire-PHP versions, due to the Xfire servers loading less.

Bugs

Please report any bugs you encounter on the forums.

Installation

Installation is pretty easy but you must have a PHP enabled server, but this is all you will need. Unzip the file onto your server and it's done. Also, for any script that uses this you will have to create a sub-directory called xfire_cache, you will also need to CHMOD this to 666 (on 'Nix)
