// hacked into the code to handel new scope (r_basicprofile+r_emailaddress) - until Paul update linkedinphp library!
// Facyla note 20131219 : this in fact should not be hacked, as Linkedin lets developpers define the wanted scope
//   in Linkedin application settings, when creating the (required) application and API access

/**
 * This file defines the 'LinkedIn' class. This class is designed to be a
 * simple, stand-alone implementation of the LinkedIn API functions.

 *
 * SOURCE CODE LOCATION:
 *
 * http://code.google.com/p/simple-linkedinphp/
 *
 * REQUIREMENTS:
 *
 * 1. You must have cURL installed on the server and available to PHP.
 * 2. You must be running PHP 5+.
 *
 * QUICK START:
 *
 * There are two files needed to enable LinkedIn API functionality from PHP; the
 * stand-alone OAuth library, and this LinkedIn class. The latest version of
 * the stand-alone OAuth library can be found on Google Code:
 *
 * http://code.google.com/p/oauth/
 *
 * Install these two files on your server in a location that is accessible to
 * the scripts you wish to use them in. Make sure to change the file
 * permissions such that your web server can read the files.
 *
 * Next, make sure the path to the OAuth library is correct (you can change this
 * as needed, depending on your file organization scheme, etc).
 *
 * Finally, test the class by attempting to connect to LinkedIn using the
 * associated demo.php page, also located at the Google Code location
 * referenced above.
