Hello Ian,

thanks for the wonderful tutorial. But I am rather new to PHP. Can you share the final implementation with me? IT would make me really happy to have a small startup, where I can get a lot of hints of how to create a REST API in PHP. Probably the RewriteRules for the Apache will help, or do you solved it an another way?

Is their a size limit for the images being used, because it seems that if I use an image over 1200 px by 1200 px or so, the script just dies. Any thoughts?

Mark,

The next versrion of the library (soon to be released when I finish up the docs) addresses all those issues. Everything throws exceptions now, and error handling is more robust.

Hi – please change private properties / methods to protected, subclassing is a real pain otherwise!

Also, is there any mileage in improving the error handling? Displaying an image is not always the correct thing to do, for instance when running this in a script or as a small part of a larger application.

I would think that throwing an exception with a custom exception class would be more appropriate. You could then choose the Exception handler based on a (protected!) property, and have an exception class to display an error image, and another to do something more traditional, as required. I’m happy to write this code & provide some tests if you’re interested in it, let me know.

Cheers,
Mark
