Upload images to Picasa

[1bigbear]

Is there a simple way of uploading an image to Picasa and then getting the link to the image? I haven't found anything to do this.

Humm..maybe read the API !

 

Updating a photo and its metadata

 

To replace both the binary data and metadata for the photo that you inserted earlier, use an HTTP request like the following:

 

PUT http://picasaweb.google.com/data/media/api/user/userID/albumid/albumID/photoid/photoID

 

The URI is the value of the <link rel="edit-media"> tag that was returned after you did the earlier POST.

 

In the body of the PUT, include the updated metadata and image data, in the same multipart format that you used to do the POST with metadata.

It is not that simple you need to login before you post and posting the image is complicated is xml, why don't they use php like the normal people do?

I have no idea what that means! they are using GData, just like Zend's Photo Album, they even have an example of how to upload them via PHP here using Zend Gdata Photos PhotoEntry and Zend Gdata Photos AlbumQuery.

If the above doesn't help you then in answer I'll say probably not.
