Search peoples by interest? - php

How can I search people by according to their interests? Is there any feature in the Graph API, or is there any API available to do this?
I need to integrate this feature with my php project, so kindly let me know if it is possible with php.

I don't think so yet, because it's still a beta feature that you can enable through your account. Meaning that not everybody is using it yet, so not many results will be shown if that api was available now.

Lulu Publishers Api has been discontinued, what to do now?

I was starting to work with the LULU api and was trying to automate the whole process through our website, dont know why but they have discontinued their service by the end of APRIL this year. Here is a message on thir portal.
http://connect.lulu.com/t5/Frequently-Asked-Questions/Lulu-Developer-Portal-Update/td-p/289614
I tried to work without the API through PHP's curl but they have a very complex form wizard and dont know why its not working. I am now hoping if there is some kind of system which can automate the form submission just like a human.
Any help is appreciated.
The old publishing API needed support resources that we couldn't offer at the time unfortunately. The new version is out and has its own support team.

It would depend on what you are trying to accomplish. There are other players in the book world that have automated APIs. Here are some of them:

The closest matching to what Lulu's APIs used to do is probably Peecho:

PHP example for retrieving home_timeline using Twitter API v1.1

Can somebody help me in understanding how to retrieve the home timeline of the user. Examples of how this could be used would be perfect, but if that is too much to ask for, then links to tutorials which start at the beginner would also be great which can go through step by step.
Also what other external files would I need to be able to accomplish this?
check this...There are several links also. this might be useful. http://viralsolani.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/writing-your-first-twitter-application-with-oauth/

Processing Paypal payments with codeigniter

I am looking for a simple library or script that I can use to make payments to PayPal. I downloaded a couple of libraries and they are all very complicated and have tons of features I dont need. I simply want a way to have a button(pay now) and when they click it, they get redirected to paypal, make the payment, and return to my site so I can save the data into the database. Can anyone recommend a good simple library or a tutorial even?
Also is that even still possible with the new PayPal API? Another words do I need to sign up for an API account to make this happen?
Thank you
These might not be as simple as you're looking for, but they work very well, are well documented in the code, and the developer is very responsive on the comments as well as here on SO.

From what i've worked on, paypal is a pain in the wein, but these libraries help lessen the pain.

How can I find the price of an app on the iTunes app store using PHP?

I am going to be creating a website which will require up-to-date prices on certain iPhone apps, which I know is possible because the website AppShopper does just that except they do it with every website. I am not that skilled using PHP though I am a quick learner.
I think that I will need to create a spider/scraper that takes the values from the website though I have done lots of research and I haven't figured it out, though I this may not be what I need. I am not familiar with the creation of spiders, though I am willing to learn. This will not be the key-point of the site so it doesn't need to be the most robust system, I would just like to be able to have it updated the prices
I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone has to offer.
There is an official Search API provided by Apple. I haven't used it myself, but it's worth looking into. Read more here.

how to get last x facebook message + answer with php?

Is there a way to get my latest facebook message +comments to show on my own website?
I would recommend looking into Facebook Connect, which provides API's for exactly the functionality you're looking for.
Facebook has fairly well-documented developer resources; you can get started at http://developers.facebook.com/, which should lead you to a few options for what you want to do. In the deeper integration stuff, PHP integration is pretty well-supported, so you should be able to find good information.
Once you've gotten a handle on the general structure of their API/Connect framework, the specific information you need is in their dev wiki documentation for Message (FQL).
