Filename: getVIVOPersonData.php
Purpose: Returns data from a person entity in VIVO that can then be formatted to fit a page style.
Version: 2.0

Usage:

This one is pretty straightforward. Include the file and pass it a string however you want. The string should be the link to a VIVO person entity.
For example, if the URI you wish to grab is "https://vivo.ufl.edu/display/n25562", then you would pass a string of "https://vivo.ufl.edu/display/n25562".

Example code follows:


<?php 
include 'getVIVOPersonData.php';
//Example of getting the data from the URL, such as http://www.yoursite.com/foo.php?search=n25562
getVIVOPersonData($search = $_GET["search"]);
//Example of getting the data from another page, say from a text field.
getVIVOPersonData($search = $_POST["searchValue"]);
//And you can just pass it a string of the URI.
getVIVOPersonData("https://vivo.ufl.edu/display/n25562");
?>

Example Output:

<div id="vivoPerson">
<img class="vivoImage" src="http://vivo.ufl.edu/file/n34850/_main_image_491-NUCATS-STS-042310.jpg" alt="Conlon, Mike">
