About:
isbnsearch provides a simple method for retrieving information about any
book using only an ISBN or EAN barcode. It is intended to provide
assistance for online libraries, user groups, or individual users, and
is designed in such a way to provide a distributed ISBN database query
system. Users can choose to view the summary information (author, title,
publisher, date, edition, subject, ISBN) as HTML, XML, or a pre-formatted
SQL statement.
Changes:
This version includes full support for the new 13 digit ISBN form, and
includes a single PHP script to upgrade and recalculate all existing 10
digit ISBN records into the 13 digit form, using the current 978 prefix.
The two Perl scripts that run under cron have also been significantly
improved, as well as having 13 digit support added. Make sure you run the
13 digit conversion before updating the rest of the files.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
