In this article i will show you how to get/build a “working” Google Website Pagerank Checker using the PHP language.
- First of all, copy and paste the following “GooglePageRankChecker Class” to your existing PHP code.
GooglePageRankChecker Class
<?php
class GooglePageRankChecker {
// Track the instance
private static $instance;
// Constructor
function getRank($page) {
// Create the instance, if one isn't created yet
if(!isset(self::$instance)) {
self::$instance = new self();
}
// Return the result
return self::$instance->check($page);
}
// Convert string to a number
function stringToNumber($string,$check,$magic) {
$int32 = 4294967296; // 2^32
$length = strlen($string);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$check *= $magic;
//If the float is beyond the boundaries of integer (usually +/- 2.15e+9 = 2^31),
// the result of converting to integer is undefined
// refer to http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php
if($check >= $int32) {
$check = ($check - $int32 * (int) ($check / $int32));
//if the check less than -2^31
$check = ($check < -($int32 / 2)) ? ($check + $int32) : $check;
}
$check += ord($string{$i});
}
return $check;
}
// Create a url hash
function createHash($string) {
$check1 = $this->stringToNumber($string, 0x1505, 0x21);
$check2 = $this->stringToNumber($string, 0, 0x1003F);
$factor = 4;
$halfFactor = $factor/2;
$check1 >>= $halfFactor;
$check1 = (($check1 >> $factor) & 0x3FFFFC0 ) | ($check1 & 0x3F);
$check1 = (($check1 >> $factor) & 0x3FFC00 ) | ($check1 & 0x3FF);
$check1 = (($check1 >> $factor) & 0x3C000 ) | ($check1 & 0x3FFF);
$calc1 = (((($check1 & 0x3C0) << $factor) | ($check1 & 0x3C)) << $halfFactor ) | ($check2 & 0xF0F );
$calc2 = (((($check1 & 0xFFFFC000) << $factor) | ($check1 & 0x3C00)) << 0xA) | ($check2 & 0xF0F0000 );
return ($calc1 | $calc2);
}
// Create checksum for hash
function checkHash($hashNumber)
{
$check = 0;
$flag = 0;
$hashString = sprintf('%u', $hashNumber) ;
$length = strlen($hashString);
for ($i = $length - 1; $i >= 0; $i --) {
$r = $hashString{$i};
if(1 === ($flag % 2)) {
$r += $r;
$r = (int)($r / 10) + ($r % 10);
}
$check += $r;
$flag ++;
}
$check %= 10;
if(0 !== $check) {
$check = 10 - $check;
if(1 === ($flag % 2) ) {
if(1 === ($check % 2)) {
$check += 9;
}
$check >>= 1;
}
}
return '7'.$check.$hashString;
}
function check($page) {
// Open a socket to the toolbarqueries address, used by Google Toolbar
$socket = fsockopen("toolbarqueries.google.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
// If a connection can be established
if($socket) {
// Prep socket headers
$out = "GET /tbr?client=navclient-auto&ch=".$this->checkHash($this->createHash($page)).
"&features=Rank&q=info:".$page."&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";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
// Write settings to the socket
fwrite($socket, $out);
// When a response is received...
$result = "";
while(!feof($socket)) {
$data = fgets($socket, 128);
$pos = strpos($data, "Rank_");
if($pos !== false){
$pagerank = substr($data, $pos + 9);
$result += $pagerank;
}
}
// Close the connection
fclose($socket);
// Return the rank!
return $result;
}
}
}
?>
- Now simply copy and paste the following “Test Code” to your existing PHP code. (this will echo the Google pagerank result)
Test Code
<?php
$rank = GooglePageRankChecker::getRank("fxwebdesign.nl"); // Replace with your website url
echo "Google Pagerank: " .$rank;
?>
- Reload the existing PHP code (in your browser) wich you edited, you will see something like “Google Pagerank: 4”, of course the number may be different. (this means the echoing of the Google pagerank result works)
Finally we add the “Google PageRank Checker” form. Simply copy and paste the following “Form Code” to your existing PHP code.
Form Code
<?php
echo '<form name="pr" action="http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .'" method="post">
<input type="text" value="http://" name="www" />
<input type="submit" value="Check PageRank" />
</form>';
if(isset($_POST['www']))
{
echo 'Google PageRank of “<a href="'.$_POST['www'].'" target="_blank">'.$_POST['www'].'</a>” is: '.GooglePageRankChecker::getRank(stripslashes($_POST['www'])).'.';
}
?>
- You're Ready! Reload the existing PHP code (in your browser) wich you edited, and . (live demo here)
