I’ve updated the code. Looks like Flickr changed the class name for the image from photoImgDiv to photo-div.

There are some API-methods that could help you with this:
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.panda.getPhotos.html (see: http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/03/03/panda-tuesday-the-history-of-the-panda-new-apis-explore-and-you/ )
and http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.interestingness.getList.html .

This would do the job for big images:

loadHTMLFile(“http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/”);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($doc);
if($xpath){
$src = $xpath->query(“//td[@class='Photo']/span/a/img/@src”);
$url = $xpath->query(“//td[@class='Photo']/span/a/@href”);

// $srcc = str_replace(“_m”, “_b”, $src);
$srcc = $src->item(0)->nodeValue;
$srcc2 = str_replace(“_m”, “_b”, $srcc);

echo ”;
}
?>
