Truth, Justice, and the American Way

I’ve been using a PHP backlinking script from Laze.Net for a while now to show the referrers to my site. Unfortunately, the script hasn’t been updated to reflect changes in Yahoo’s new search string. So, I updated the string parsing code to correctly show the search terms. You can find the code below.

Warning: Adding recent referrs to your blog has some interesting consequences, which you may want to consider before making them publicly visible.

PHP:

---

$recentfile = “backlink.txt”;

$mydomain = “rationalmind.net”;

$displaynum = 10;

$displaychar = 30;

$recent = file($recentfile);

$start = 0;

$amount = count($recent);

if ($amount >= $displaynum) {

    $start = 1;

    $amount = $displaynum;

}

for ($x = ($amount-1); $x >= 0; $x–) {

    if (eregi(“google.”, $recent[$x]) || eregi(“search.msn.”, $recent[$x]) ||

            eregi(“atomz.com”, $recent[$x]) || eregi(“lycos.”, $recent[$x]) || eregi(“yahoo.”, $recent[$x]) ||

            eregi(“altavista.”, $recent[$x])) {

        if (eregi(“google.yahoo”, $recent[$x])  ) {  

            list($first, $rest) = split(“p=”, $recent[$x]);

        } elseif (eregi(“lycos.”, $recent[$x])) {

            list($first, $rest) = split(“query=”, $recent[$x]);

        } elseif (eregi(“q=&q=”, $recent[$x])) {

            list($first, $rest) = split(“q=&q=”, $recent[$x]);

        } elseif (eregi(“yahoo.”, $recent[$x])) {

            list($first, $rest) = split(“p=”, $recent[$x]);

        } else {

            list($first, $rest) = split(“q=”, $recent[$x]);

        }

        list($temp, $toss) = split(“&”, $rest);

        $temp = eregi_replace (“+”, ” “, $temp);

        $temp = eregi_replace (“%22″, “”", $temp);

        $temp = eregi_replace (“%27″, “‘”, $temp);

        $temp = eregi_replace (“%26″, “&”, $temp);

        $temp = eregi_replace (“%20″, ” “, $temp);

        if (eregi(“atomz.com”, $recent[$x])) {

            echo “<b>ls: </b> “;

        } else {

            echo “<b>s: </b> “;

        }

        echo “<a href=”" . rtrim($recent[$x]) . “”>” . substr($temp, 0, $displaychar - 3);

        if (strlen($temp) > $displaychar - 3) {

            echo “…”;

        }

        echo “</a><br />\n”;

    } else {

        $temp = rtrim(substr((eregi_replace(“www.”, “”, $recent[$x])), 7, $displaychar));

        echo “<a href=”" . rtrim($recent[$x]) . “”>” . $temp;

        if (strlen($temp) > $displaychar - 1) {

            echo “…”;

        }

        echo “</a><br />\n”;

    }

}

$recent[$amount] = $HTTP_REFERER . “\n”;

if ($HTTP_REFERER && !(eregi($mydomain, $HTTP_REFERER)) && !(eregi(“Outpost”, $HTTP_REFERER))) {

    $fp = fopen ($recentfile, “w”);

    for ($y = $start; $y <= $amount; $y++) {

        fputs($fp, “$recent[$y]“);

    }

    fclose ($fp);

}
