Instagram Fetch Amount of Images API - php

Question

A friend of mine wrote this script, displaying the 20 most recent instagram images, and I was wondering, how can I change the amount of images it grabs to maybe, 6?
<?PHP
$token = 'token';
$username = 'username';
$userInfo = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q='.$username.'&access_token='.$token));
if($userInfo->meta->code==200){
$photoData = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/'.$userInfo->data[0]->id.'/media/recent/?access_token='.$token));
if($photoData->meta->code==200){ ?>
<?PHP foreach($photoData->data as $img){
echo '<img src="'.$img->images->thumbnail->url.'">';
} ?>
<?PHP } // If
} // If
?>
Now, the script is functional now because I've been working on it all day, but I'm not sure how to change how many it sends out.
Also, would any of you know how to style this? I already have the CSS done for it, but whenever I try it, it doesn't work correctly.
And, would you know how to get the description of the photo using the API?
Thank you in advance :-)

Answer 1

You need to use Instagram's count= url parameter when requesting data from their endpoints.
For example: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?count=6
Or in your code:
<?PHP
$token = 'token';
$username = 'username';
$userInfo = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?count=6&q='.$username.'&access_token='.$token));
if($userInfo->meta->code==200){
$photoData = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/'.$userInfo->data[0]->id.'/media/recent/?count=6&access_token='.$token));
if($photoData->meta->code==200){ ?>
<?PHP foreach($photoData->data as $img){
echo '<img src="'.$img->images->thumbnail->url.'">';
} ?>
<?PHP } // If
} // If
?>
Pseudo example for styling. You'll need to figure out the css styles for that, but shouldn't be to difficult.
<div class='myBorder'>
<img url=$img->link />
<div class='myCaption'>$img->caption->text</div>
</div>

Answer 2

To get the description
if (isset($img->caption)) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$title = stripslashes($img->caption->text);
} else {
$title = $img->caption->text;
}
}
