How to get Google page ranks with PHP.
This snippet of PHP code will show you how to get a Google page rank for a specific website. The function below will return the page rank as an integer. The code was pulled from the wordpress links directory plugin located here.
<?php
function getpagerank($url){
$fp = fsockopen("toolbarqueries.google.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$fp){
echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
}else{
$out="GET /search?client=navclient-auto&ch=".CheckHash(HashURL($url))."&features=Rank&q=info:".$url."&num=100&filter=0
HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out.="Host: toolbarqueries.google.com\r\n";
$out.="User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; GoogleToolbar 2.0.114-big; Windows XP 5.1)\r\n";
$out.="Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
while(!feof($fp)){
$data=fgets($fp, 128);
$pos=strpos($data, "Rank_");
if($pos===false){} else{
$pagerank = substr($data, $pos + 9);
return $pagerank;
}
}
fclose($fp);
}
}
function CheckHash($Hashnum){
$CheckByte=0;
$Flag=0;
$HashStr=sprintf('%u', $Hashnum);
$length=strlen($HashStr);
for($i=$length-1; $i>=0; $i--) {
$Re=$HashStr{$i};
if(1===($Flag % 2)){
$Re+=$Re;
$Re=(int)($Re/10)+($Re%10);
}
$CheckByte+=$Re;
$Flag++;
}
$CheckByte %= 10;
if (0 !== $CheckByte){
$CheckByte=10-$CheckByte;
if (1 === ($Flag % 2) ) {
if (1 === ($CheckByte % 2)) {
$CheckByte += 9;
}
$CheckByte >>= 1;
}
}
return '7'.$CheckByte.$HashStr;
}
?>

Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean by
CheckHash(HashURL($url))
These functions are custom ones?
Xerxes, The CheckHash function was added.
