I found a bug yesterday with the cache table not being cleared out.

The problem was with the SQL that counts the row and then checks to see whats out of date and if the table has reached it limit.

I have fixed this issue and updated the base library.

Recently the cache methods started getting uppity about the date_default_timezone_set() not being set. I have fixed this and have updated the phpYahoo class.

date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘America/Los_Angeles’ for ‘PST/-8.0/no DST’ instead

This is a minor release that includes the ability to search Yahoo! News.

Ok for those following this project I must apologize for the erratic releases and versions.

Starting today Feb 2, 2007 phpYahoo is at a milestone of version 2.0.

This version contains one single class and each of the Yahoo! Services is a method. This borrows heavily from the phpFlickr Class by Dan Coulter where he built a single class for all of the Flicker functions.

Whereas I at one point thought it would be smart to create a base class that hold utility functions for Yahoo and then a separate class for each of the Yahoo Services like Site Explorer, Web Searching, Audio Searching and so on. So what’s wrong with that? Well when it came time to build demos it became very unclear on what class need to be added and to which instance you needed to add your Yahoo AppID.
