Your code nevetheless needs some ground work:
- Since you are interfacing a web service, use Services_Libravatar as package name
- Give the class the proper class names (Services_Libravatar), put them in the correct place
- You don't need "@access" docblock tags anymore since we're on php5
- You could cache DNS results, which make using an libravatar object for several email addresses faster
- Please have a look at Net_DNS and if you can use it. Maybe it already includes sorting by priority, so you don't have to use your own implementation.
[2011-05-19 18:53 UTC] Hi. This is a great start.
1.) run phpcs on your code to find many small issues with coding standards
2.) your example code creates a new object and calls a method on the object but the URL method is documented as @static and uses $this::foo() internally. I recommend just using non-static method access.
3.) The organization of the code doesn't match the PEAR standards. You should have:
/
-docs/
-LICENSE
-package.xml
-Services/
--Libravatar.php
