getting vimeo id codes from album - php

Question

Trying to call get an array of ALL videos from a Vimeo Album. Using vimeo's JS API.
https://developer.vimeo.com/apis/simple#album-request
So the doc above says that to access information about a vimeo album you form a url like this:
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/album/album_id/request.output
and in my case that url looks like this:
$id2 = $_POST['alb1']
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/album/$id2/info.php
So everone says to use CURL to read the .php file that vimeo provides using the above url.
From it, i need to aquire the total number of videos in the album.
With that number I need to create a loop that accesses all the videos (for as long as the album is) and saves it as an array full of the video URLs.
That is then saved to a SQL database and the database is read out in a loop to print out <li>lines with an image of the video in it.
See it all in NON action here:

here's the php I use to read the vimeo file
function getVimeoInfo($id, $info)
{
if (!function_exists('curl_init')) die('CURL is not installed!');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/album/$id/videos.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$output = unserialize(curl_exec($ch));
$output = $output[0][$info];
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
function getVimeoInfo2($id2, $info2)
{
if (!function_exists('curl_init')) die('CURL is not installed!');
$ch2 = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_URL, "http://vimeo.com/api/v2/album/$id2/info.php");
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$output2 = unserialize(curl_exec($ch2));
$output2 = $output2[0][$info2];
curl_close($ch2);
return $output2;
}
Here is the other part:
$thetoatslotzes = getVimeoInfo2($posty_alby,'total_videos');
echo "<script> alert('lotze: " . $thetoatslotzes . "');</script>" ;
$albarray = getVimeoInfo($_POST['alb1'],'url');
echo "<script> alert('albarray: " . $thetoatslotzes . "');</script>" ;
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$dbh->beginTransaction();
$dbh->exec("TRUNCATE TABLE vim_playlist12");
$dbh->commit();
$i = 0;
while($i < 9) {
$eye_matee = $i + 1;
$dbh->beginTransaction();
$dbh->exec("insert into vim_playlist12 (url, listnum) values
($albarray[$i], $eye_matee)");
$i = $i + 1;
$dbh->commit();
}
$seleccion = 'SELECT url, listnum FROM vim_playlist12 ORDER BY listnum';
foreach ($dbh->query($seleccion) as $row) {
print $row['listnum'] . ": " . $row['url'] . "<br>" ;
}
}
catch (Exception $e) {
$dbh->rollBack();
echo "Failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
}
else
{}
So ultimately if I can get that array of URLS from the vimeo videos.php i'll be in good shape.
