OK, will also make the change to use fsockopen instead of fopen because lots of hosts have it turned off.

Phil, I suppose I should take a closer look at Omar’s code. To be honest, I’m still running my original version and it’s doing (more or less) what I need.

Please feel free to make any changes and post it yourself or send it back to me and I’ll post it here. (Yes, I’m a master of the LazyWeb!)

Given that in delisync-1.5.1 you do this:

$addurl = sprintf ("http://%s:%s@%s/scuttle/api/posts ...

then this isn’t actually reversable, and toDN should probably be the full URL of your scuttle installation.

You can create the delicious.xml file via a cron tab as explained in this post, or add code to the PHP script to do it. (Look at both versions of the PHP script.)

Hmmm. where’s the delicious.xml file it refers to?!

Pete, nice work! This script works pretty well! I made a couple of changes (added “extended” attribute functionality and made some changes for modularization) and sent it off to you. Feel free to use or ignore any or all of it. :-) Thanks again for a great tool!

Nelson, it should just be a matter of swapping the URL’s and username/passwords in the appropriate place. Since they use a common API, it should be that easy.

When you say that in theory you could do things in reverse, do you mean that I could synchronize my del.icio.us account with my Scuttle account using this code? In other words, could I use Scuttle as my main bookmarking site and have this program back it up to del.icio.us? How much hacking would be necessary to make it do that?
