(Back) link checker

19 Years Ago olaf 0 183 Views

This function is usefull for peoples with a link directory where the links are stored inside a (MySQL) database. The PHP script is easy to use to find out if a reciprocal link still exists on the corresponding webpage. It takes care about the trailing slash in urls and can be used with (almost) every url. Inside the function is a check against a regular expression pattern and the result is a simple boolean. Check the example here

php

<?php
function check_back_link($remote_url, $your_link) {
    $match_pattern = preg_quote(rtrim($your_link, "/"), "/");
    $found = false;
    if ($handle = @fopen($remote_url, "r")) {
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $part = fread($handle, 1024);
            if (preg_match("/<a(.*)href=[\"']".$match_pattern.
"(\/?)[\"'](.*)>(.*)<\/a>/", $part)) {
                $found = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        fclose($handle);
    }
    return $found;
}
// example:
//if (check_back_link("http://www.all4yourwebsite.com", "http://www.finalwebsites.com")) echo "link exists";
?>

Unfortunately, this code does not work or I can not run

Edited 15 Years Ago by Ezzaral because: Snipped url. Please restrict such links to your site-wide user signature, which can be edited from the user control panel.
