Dev notes

Increased PHPStan level to 4, which should help ensuring return types are correct

• Added the ability to fetch multiple pages of results, and change the amount you receive per page to TitleSearchAdvanced. Thanks @miaadp
  • New method setCount() to change the number of results. Currently 50 by default
  • New method setStart() which changes the offset for the results. For example you fetch one page, then call setStart(50) and you'll get the next 50 results.
• Fix Title::alsoknow() when country is not set. countryCode and languageCode will now be null if no language or country is set

IMDb made changes to a few of its pages, the biggest change is not showing all information on initial page load. Because of this we've changed to loading this data from IMDb's graphql api instead. This should make no difference to users of the library except the graphql code does not localise data. Any of the methods using it (every method mentioned in this release) might not return country/language specific information and will not respect the Config::language setting. Please raise an issue if this causes a problem.

Breaking changes

• Title::plot() returns plain text utf-8 strings rather than html. It no longer contains the author at the end (You can get the author from Title::plot_split())
• Title::plot_split() also has plain text utf-8 strings rather than html in its plot field
• Title::releaseInfo() return has changed. The country strings have changed slightly, the dates are numbers rather than stringy numbers and month has been removed.
  • Was ['country' => 'USA', 'day' => '9', 'month' => 'June', 'mon' => '06', 'year' => '1993' ]
  • Now [ 'country' => 'United States', 'day' => 9, 'mon' => 6, 'year' => 1993, 'attributes' => [ 'Washington, D.C.', 'premiere' ] ]
• Title::alsoknow() no longer returns a year or lang field (they were previously always an empty string). It no longer returns a comment of '$language title' for each aka.

Fixes

• Fixed these methods broken by site change: Title::releaseInfo(), Title::synopsis(), Title::alternateVersions(), Title::runtimes(), Title::distCompany(), Title::specialCompany(), Title::prodCompany(), Title::specialCompany(), Title::otherCompany(), Title::movie_recommendations(), Title::taglines(), Title::movieconnection(), Title::extReviews(), Title::officialSites(), Title::videosites()

Additions

• Title::alsoknow() now returns a countryCode, language and languageCode for each AKA.
• Title::runtimes() now returns a country and countryCode
• Title::videosites() now returns a language, languageCode but not a type.
  • Now ['url' => 'x', 'site' => FILM.TV, 'desc' => trailer, 'language' => German, 'languageCode' => de]
  • Was ['url'=>'x', 'site' => 'FILM.TV', 'desc' => 'trailer', 'type' => '']

Bug fixes:

• Remove visibility from const to support < PHP 7.1

Bug fixes:

• Fix demo as Title::soundtrack where simplified in v7.3.1
• Fix Person::photo_localurl in PHP 8.2
• Fix Title::photo_localurl in PHP 8.2

This release makes it easier to follow the "coding standard" that never where written down. We are using PHP-FIG - PER Coding Style that currently are identical to PSR-12. It's a living coding style that can adapt to newer PHP versions without issuing a new standard.

We have also incorporate EditorConfig so that we get the correct amount of tab/spaces depending on file type/path.

PHPStan have been raised to level 1 to automatically find more bugs in the code.
