How do I get information about a photo on flickr?

You make a REST HTTP request and load the results as a string:
$query = "http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.getInfo&api_key=" . API_KEY . "&photo_id=" . $photoid . "&format=json&nojsoncallback=1";
data = json_decode(file_get_contents($query));
echo "created by: " . data->photo->owner->username;
echo "link to photopage: " . "http://www.flickr.com/photos/" . data->photo->owner->nsid; . "/" . data->photo->id;
You do this for any chunks of data you need, from any REST calls you need.
All of this is available via the flickr api

You need to use the public Flickr API . Sign up for an API key and then take a look at this page (which gives you a basic introduction to APIs and parsing serialized PHP. I prefer using XML with SimpleXML).
You may find it easier to use one of the following packages:
Please refer to the documentation for information on using them.
