Flickr PHP front-end

For those that use Flickr badge to pull photos onto your site know that it’s an ugly javascript that breaks xhtml compliance. After much searching the closest solution I could find was here:

However it points to individual photos, unlike the javascript that points you back to flickr and on to the original photo page.

My question:

Could someone help me modify the above PHP script to mimic the javascript?

P.S. This would be a great plugin since many use flickr (caching would also be an interesting option to have since flickr has been having some issues from time to time)
