Here is the Bing rank function kids. Bing Rank Checker.

Enjoy!

/* Function to get ranking position of domain for given keyword.
 * var $keyword [string]
 * var $domain [string] | www.domain.com | domain.com
 * Whichever you expect your domain to be listed with or without www prefix.
*/
function bingrank($keyword,$domain){

	$rank = '0';
	$urls = array();

	for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){

		$rn=$i=='0'?'':$i;

		$query = "http://www.bing.com/search?q=".urlencode($keyword)."&first=".$rn."1";

		$result_page = file_get_contents($query);

		preg_match_all('/class="sb_tlst"><h3><a href="(.*?)"/',$result_page,$matches);

		foreach($matches[1] AS $url){
			$urls[] = $url;
		}

	}

	for($i=0;$i< count($urls);$i++){

		if(stristr($urls[$i],'http://'.$domain)){

			$rank = $i +1;
			break;

		}

	}

	return $rank;

}

Here is the function to get Yahoo rank for your keyword and domain. Yahoo Rank Checker.

As with the Googlerank function in the previous post, if you want the function to search through more yahoo pages
change the for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){ line in the code.

Enjoy!

Next will a function to get your ranking in “Bing”.

/* Function to get ranking position of domain for given keyword.
 * var $keyword [string]
 * var $domain [string] | www.domain.com | domain.com
 * Whichever you expect your domain to be listed with or without www prefix.
*/
function yahoorank($keyword,$domain){

	$rank = '0';
	$urls = array();

	for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){

		$rn=$i=='0'?'':$i;

		$query = "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=".urlencode($keyword)."&b=".$rn."1";

		$result_page = file_get_contents($query);

		preg_match_all('/class="yschttl spt" href="(.*?)">/',$result_page,$matches);

		foreach($matches[1] AS $url){
			$urls[] = $url;
		}

	}

	//print_r($urls);exit();

	for($i=0;$i< count($urls);$i++){

		if(stristr($urls[$i],'http://'.$domain)){
		$rank = $i +1;
		break;
		}

	}

	return $rank;

}

Ok kids, I’m going to break these down into functions so it’s easier and you can put them in your projects rather than me recreating an entire application to run them all at once.

This one is a PHP function to return your ranking for a keyword in Google. The Google Rank Checker.

1. Provide your keyword and domain in the form.
   (make sure you use the correct suffix for your domain – www.domain.com or domain.com
2. Hit the button
3. The function returns the ranking position

(NOTE: This function only goes through the first 5 pages of the google index, meaning x50 results. If you want it to go higher it will take longer to run, but you can do it by altering the below part, just alter the “5″ for how many pages you want to run through.)

for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){

Ok here is the full function, enjoy:

/* Function to get ranking position of domain for given keyword.
 * var $keyword [string]
 * var $domain [string] | www.domain.com | domain.com
 * Whichever you expect your domain to be listed with or without www prefix.
*/
function googlerank($keyword,$domain){

	$rank = '0';
	$urls = array();

	for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){

		$rn=$i=='0'?'':$i;

		$query = "http://www.google.com.au/search?q=".urlencode($keyword)."&start=".$rn."0&sa=N";

		$result_page = file_get_contents($query);

		preg_match_all('/<h3><a href="(.*?)"/',$result_page,$matches);

		foreach($matches[1] AS $url){
			$urls[] = $url;
		}

	}

	for($i=0;$i< count($urls);$i++){

		if(stristr($urls[$i],'http://'.$domain)){

		        $rank = $i +1;
		        break;

		}

	}

	return $rank;

}

Ok so nobody really wants a full blown tool to check their stats on Google, Yahoo, and Alexa.

But I figured that since I looked for something like this quite a while ago I’d give you guys some small functions to use in whatever scripts you’re building so you can grab backlink numbers, pages indexed and Alexa ranking.

It might save someone some time trying to figure out the regex etc..

It’s not the be all and end all, but it works and does the job.
It goes out and grabs:

• Google Inlinks amount
• Google Backlinks amount
• Yahoo Inlinks amount
• Yahoo Backlinks amount
• Alexa Ranking

If it stops working, don’t blame me, the SE’s quite often change their layouts, but put a comment on this post and I might have a quick look and post an update.

For those of you familiar with curl, you can probably swap out the ‘file_get_contents’ in favour of using the Curl library with Proxy attached in order to avoid getting your IP blocked. Although you’d have bad data due to different country specific IP’s.

It should be fine without if you don’t use it too much.

Enjoy!

I use PHP everyday, it is my scripting language of choice for web applications.  While I am a fairly advanced user and OO advocate, there are still things that I learn everyday.

Here I have compiled a bunch of functions that I have found useful that you probably have never heard of.

1. strstr() stristr()
Used to compare a partial string to a full string and find a match.
Note: strstr is case sensitive, and stristr is not.
Usage:

if(stristr('PHP is a great scripting language.','PHP')){
        echo 'Match found.';
}

2. ip2long() long2ip()
This can be used to store ip addresses as integers instead of strings.
This can speed up your database by not having to store the extra chars.

3. checkdnsrr();
This function can check that a domain name exists and resolves to an IP address.

4. Get remote IP address
The below snippet will retrieve the users ip address, unfortunately this will not work if the user is behind a proxy, but there is a script below it that will get the real IP address.

function getRemoteIPAddress() {

        $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
        return $ip;

}

function getRealIPAddr(){

	if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) { 
                //check ip from share internet
		$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
	}elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) { 
                //to check ip is pass from proxy
		$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
	}else{
		$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	}
	return $ip;

}

5. sort()
This function sorts the elements of an array in ascending order. String values will be arranged in alphabetical order. Other sorting functions also exist — asort(), arsort(), ksort(), krsort(), and rsort().

$data = array("g", "t", "a", "s");
sort($data);
print_r($data);
-------
Output:
Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => g
[2] => s
[3] => t
)
