   I have been beating my head against a rock. I am switching over to WP and found your widget. It wont cache the images (and I have set the folder to 777. As you can see (if you go to my site) that the rss parts work, but the img src tag lists the path but no file name.

   I know a little JAVA and PERL (enough to be dangerous) and was trying to get a grip on the code. I dont have CURL with my PHP. I cant tell if the problem is in the fopen, or in the parsing of the rss data.

   If you could take a look I’d certainly appreciate it.

   I can use the picasa’s “Blog this” URL to get an image, `course it is not being saved locally. I just wanted to see if I could actually use that.

   I seem to have the same problem as wvpv, the output seems to have gone through the htmlspecialchars function, and comes out all < etc, so you see the code rather than the output

   I changed the line
   $photos[$count]['description'] = htmlspecialchars($row['description']);

   to
   $photos[$count]['description'] = $row['description'];

   and it displayed images, but messed up. I wonder if you uploaded a debug version by mistake?

   That < should have been a &lt; - dratted double escaping

   I have updated the widget with code from Picasa Wed Matrix and some of my own and it now works as expected on my site so I thought I would share my work with others. You can find it here

   Hey Otto,

   I cannot seem to get your plugin to work correctly. It constantly spits out

   —-
   fopen(/www/htdocs/spy/wp-content/plugins/widgets/picasawebcache/CIMG0588.JPG) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/htdocs/spy/wp-content/plugins/picasaweb/picasaweb.php on line 81
   Warning: curl_setopt(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /www/htdocs/spy/wp-content/plugins/picasaweb/picasaweb.php on line 84
   —-

   After these messages I get a lot of gibberish.

   I’m using the latest WordPress and K2 0.95RC on a PHP4.4.4 server.
   The Feed-URL I’m using is: http://picasaweb.google.de/dat.....&hl=de

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks man!

   –Thomas

   Nevermind my previous post. I have debugged the script, and found out that the
   path to the plugin-directory was hardcoded.
   It was something like “plugins/widgets/picasawebcache”…
   Changing everything to “plugins/picasaweb/picasawebcache” (i.e. my structure)
   made everything work.

   Thanks for the excellent plugin…

   love it, thanks for taking the time for writing this! For anybody having issues make sure you check the paths to the cache ‘cacheurl’ and ‘cachedir’ before you activate it, its around line 38 of picasaweb.php

    after I install and activate the widget I do not see any widget configuration panel. I have verified all my paths and the look good. Any ideas?

    What’s the usage? I have everything installed but can’t get an album to come up in a post.

    Do I need to put a special tag around the URL? Is it the URL by itself? Is it the URL as an A-HREF??
