PHP/API Last.Fm Pulling artist.getsimilar

[YOUAREtehSCENE]

I'm trying to add a little code to my website I run so that it will show users a list of bands that they met like. instead of writing out long hand for fans of:

 

 

I just recently downloaded this.

http://www.matto1990.com/projects/phplastfmapi/

It has the files that I need to run this api, or php script or code.

 

Inside, the folder it has

examples

lastfmapi

sample_applications

changelog

license

readme

 

I'm reading on how to write code, I'm brand new to this. and I"m having trouble, I have my secret key, and api key.

 

http://www.last.fm/api/auth?api_key=39246ccfee835966b1f181d0b47xxxx

 

I can get my token, or session going cause i have it to shoot to my website youarethescene.net

 

Now, i'm reading this on how to build I guess a class

 

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/phplastfmapi/index.php?title=Usage#Step_1:_Download

 

Now, I'm sort of confused cause some of the php files that were in the file I downloaded

 

$authVars = array(

'apiKey' => 39246ccfee835966b1f181d0b47 trim(fgets($file)),

'secret' => 8731edb71db292fc52618451 trim(fgets($file)),

'username' => YouAreTeHScene,

'sessionKey' => trim(fgets($file)),

'subscriber' => trim(fgets($file))

 

Now, do I put my api key there and secret key and my last.fm user name.

Do, I get rid of the "trim(fgets($file))" or put the info next to it "trim(fgets($file))", or replace "trim(fgets($file))" with the info I need.??

 

It would be easier if someone just did this for me but yeah I know nobody wants to help out.

 

but, the way I have it now i'm getting

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/yats/youarethescene.net/lastfmapi/artist.getsimilar/index.php  on line 10

 

I dont know if Im doing it correctly or what

 

Im really new to this so I'm all over this

http://www.last.fm/api/webauth

http://www.last.fm/api/account

 

got my own account with the API key, and secret key trying to figure where to put it

 

Pretty much, I'd like it to do is lets say

I'm sure you guys have heard of this band I HOPE SO

 

Blink182

 

under that It will show a small cd artwork if the band has it of certain other bands that people might enjoy if they like blink182

 

I pretty much would like to have on my wordpress site under a post I make it would be

  ^{They'z da shit man.}

^{<div id="related_bands>}
