hold my hand with daylife API

[FJbrian]

Has anyone used the daylife API they call a "cookbook" or the ready made scripts they call "recipes"?

here's a link
http://cookbook.daylife.com/cookbook

I'm pasting their ready made code and changing only my "shared secret" and "access key" and....nothing works. I get a blank page.
PHP, Javascript, Perl it doesn't really matter which one I use, I get the same resulting blank page.

Is there something maybe on my server I need to do?
Any ideas?

*****
No code to add into thread. I don't think it's a code issue since I'm pasting working samples.

no replies not enough info, I assume, so here's the code

I had to change my php ini in the directory

Now I'm getting
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in public_html/ibnu/daypi.php on line 30

the "initialize your parameters" part in code above
I tried adding a ) but I don't really see a prob here-I don't notice anything wrong...hence the post.

Any idea?

Change this
#initialize your api client
$publicapi = new PublicApi($publicapi_access_url, $accesskey, $sharedsecret)
to this
#initialize your api client
$publicapi = new PublicApi($publicapi_access_url, $accesskey, $sharedsecret);

[FJbrian]

thank you very much for the help and reply

[FJbrian]

I still get the same error message. Any other ideas?

So the file above is daypi.php? Please post your updated code.
