tapir2flat.php: a simple script to
|
|
2
|
consume taiper web services and save the results in a delimited file,
|
|
3
|
one record per line. The current delimiter is backtick '`' but
|
|
4
|
that can be changed by changing the $seperator variable located

I had to install pear and HTTP_Request before it would work (on Ubuntu):
|
|
16
|
sudo apt-get install php-http-request
|
|
17
|
|

|
This should install all dependencies, but just in case, the full dependency list is:

php-net-url
|
