Thats more or less depending on the OS you are running on. For linux you can use "pecl install oauth-beta"  This will install the library, but the last step is to copy the generated oauth.so file to your extension directory of php and add this to your php.ini.You can also just download de library from http://pecl.php.net/package/oauth and install from command line.For further information for installing a pecl library please go to : http://nl.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.phpw

Hi Winfred,By doing 'pecl install oauth-beta', I have :debian:/# pecl install oauth-betaWARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update pecl.php.net" to updatedownloading oauth-0.99.9.tgz ...Starting to download oauth-0.99.9.tgz (25,609 bytes).........done: 25,609 bytes4 source files, buildingrunning: phpizesh: phpize: command not foundERROR: `phpize' failedI wanted to use "channel-update pecl.php.net" by command line, nevertheless it's out. Hoiw can I resolve the problem, please ?Thanks by advance,Best Regards,Vincent.

this is probably becuase the php-devel package is not installed. your problem is that phpize isn't found. here you find the answer.http://nirlevy.blogspot.com/2008/01/phpize-command-not-found.htmltry running: yum install php-develw

The response is :debian:/# yum install php-develSetting up Install ProcessParsing package install argumentsNo package php-devel available.Nothing to doHow can I do now ? I don't understand. Do you have others solutions ?Thanks by advance,Vincent.

On what version of php are you running?w

I use PHP5

Isn't there somebody you know that could look at the php5 installation and make the php-dev function work. My way should be google till i found some sollution.w

My example API Linkedin ask me always 'You should install PECL lib OAuth'

I ran into the same problem.solution (for me) was to install libcurl4-dev-openssl and then channel://pecl.php.net/oauth-0.99.9 install worked fine...The next thing I ran into was a problem with the CA certificates (!?)Uncaught exception 'OAuthException' with message 'making the request failed (Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?))'Solved this by adding $oauth->disableSSLChecks(); just before requestToken.As soon as I have everything up and running I'll share this.edit: Using the example from linkedphp.com everything worked fine and I succesfully fetched my LinkedIn profile.

Thanks for the suggestionI will add it to the codew

GREAT !Thank you very much Jeroen, my example is ok. I used it in my intranet.I didn't have the problem with the CA certificates. I know the example linkedphp.com and it is ok for me, nevertheless I wanted Oauth.Now, I'm going to do several examples to be succeed my project.If I can help, it will be with pleasure. Still thank you very much.Best Regards,Vincent.

Hi,So you use PHP, you will find all the responses in another thread, here http://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1153?tstart=0Best Regards,Vincent.

See my last reply here: http://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1153

I'm stumped. I'm doing PHP development on a Windows XP PC and want to install the Pecl Oauth code to experiment with the Linkedin API.I have downloaded the tgz file from http://pecl.php.net/package/oauth, and uncompressed it. But I don't know what to do next so I can refer to it in my applications.Thanks,George

Hi Ziya,Thanks for the response. I took a look at your zip file and noticed it includes OAuth.php. Where did you get that file?Thanks,George

Hi intercom,Thanks for gr8 workThanksZiya

Thanks. I think this is what I need.George

"intercom":Looks like you are using the same Google OAuth PHP library as we are.  We have hit a roadblock with POSTing to LinkedIn with this library.  Have you used that part of LinkedIn yet and had success with the POST command?  If so, do you have any code snippets or modification to the OAuth Google PHP library that got this to work?  My forehead is getting soar from hitting it against the wall.Much appreciated,John

Hi John,I am using the same Google OAuth PHP library as you do (http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/php/OAuth.php). I notice that you have some awesome posts about utilizing that libary with a few modifications. However, with the changes you mentioned, I am only able to sucessfully make GET and PUT requests, but still getting 401 errors for POST requests with response like: [unauthorized].

The main thing with POST is to set the headers correctly.  Sample below if from our proxy PHP code between Flex and LinkedIn:  $app_key      = CRM_LINKEDIN_API_KEY;  $app_secret   = CRM_LINKEDIN_SECRET_KEY;  $host = "http://api.linkedin.com";  $uri    = osf_post( 'uri' ); // function to get posted variables  $token  = osf_post( 'token' ); // saved authorized user account  $secret = osf_post( 'secret' ); // saved authorized user account  $method = osf_post( 'method', 'GET' );  $args   = osf_post( 'args' );  $test_consumer = new OAuthConsumer( $app_key, $app_secret, NULL );  $sig_method    = new OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1();  $endpoint = sprintf( "%s/%s", $host, $uri ); // need a + symbol here.  $arg_seq = array();  if( $args != "" )  {    if( $method == "GET" )    {      $values = explode( "&", $args );      $nvalues = count( $values );      for( $i=0; $i < $nvalues; $i++ )      {        if( $values[$i] != "" )        {          list( $name, $value ) = explode( "=", $values[$i] );          $arg_seq[ $name ] = str_replace( "+", " ", $value );        }      }    }  }  $req_token = new OAuthConsumer( $token, $secret, 1 );  $profile_req = OAuthRequest::from_consumer_and_token( $test_consumer, $req_token, $method,                                                        $endpoint,                                                        $arg_seq ); // but no + symbol here!  $profile_req->sign_request( $sig_method, $test_consumer, $req_token );  $headers[] = $profile_req->to_header( $host ); // modified to set realm  $ch = curl_init();  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0 );  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint );  if( $method == "GET" )  {    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true );  }  else if( $method == "PUT" )  {    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT' );    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args );  }  else if( $method == "POST" )  {    $headers[] = 'Content-Type: text/xml';    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE );    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args );  }  else if( $method == "DELETE" )  {    curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE" );  }  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );  print curl_exec($ch);  curl_close($ch);  flush();Hope that helps

Thanks sooo much John! My code is working now

Glad I could help.

I have read full thread. It is very useful for me..Can you tell me the arguments($args) we need to pass to update the status?Thanks.

The $args is a string of name/value pairs based on the API you are trying to call.  For example:For POST commands that take the XML, $args would be the XML text.For GET commands, like get network status, the $args would be type=XXX&start=0&count=0 (or something similar)

Yo all,Just a sharing.  For those who are interested in knowing how to implement oAuth using some of the most basics PHP functions like fsockopen() without dependency on any standard OAuth library, I have posted what I found out as a step-by-step guide @ http://blog.thewebcafes.com/post/1502524959/php-step-by-step-oauth-for-dummies-based-on-linkedin.Feel free to comment there.

I added a comment there. I still worry about people rolling their own OAuth. It can bite you.

On rolling our own OAuth...  there are many implementations, including PECL, Zend, some random ones on Google Code...  any chance LinkedIn is going to be releasing/blessing a particular implementation so that people can be reasonably sure that their apps will remain LinkedIn API compatible moving into the future?Paul

I would unofficially bless pecl/oauth. That's what I use. It works for everything I try. I will release sample code, if people want. I also like using a C extension instead of a PHP one because of performance reasons. I will look into blessing a PHP-based solution, as I know people often have times installing extensions when they don't have root on the shared host, etc.

Ah cool, thanks Adam.  I'm hoping to modify my library in the coming weeks to work with both the pecl and the current non-pecl extension that it currently uses (it uses this to, as you mentioned, allow users to connect without having access to install extensions, etc)All the best,Paul

Hi Paul,I am looking forward to your PHP library.  It would be great if it can auto-detect for pecl/oauth installation, and use the pecl/oauth if installed, but if no, use your own built-in oauth library.Boon Kgim

Thanks Boon!For what it's worth, the library is released, but the current version simply throw an error if PECL is installed:http://code.google.com/p/simple-linkedinphp/My library makes use of an open-source stand-alone OAuth library, which can be found here:http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/php/I'll post something to the Forums when I have some progress on the future version of the library that can actually make use of the PECL extension.Paul

Hi Adam,That would be great.  One of the main reasons why I trying to develop using some of the most basic PHP functions is because not all projects I'm working on have access to installation of PECL library.  I tried using a 3rd party OAuth library from the Twitter community but apparently it has problem dealing with the XML posting (it doesn't allow me to customize headers and content mainly for "Content-Type: text/xml").I was looking for an exact replacement library for pecl/oauth in term of function interface, so that I can include it for projects that do not have pecl/oauth installed.  But it took me so much searching time that I finally decide it would be better for me to drill my head into the basic of OAuth.
