Bing Daily Photo
BingPhoto is a simple PHP class to fetch Bing's image of the day with meta data.
It is also possible to cache the images locally, which can be useful in combination with a periodic cronjob. See the cacheDir parameter for this (optional) feature. Disclaimer: this might be a copyright issue.
