Apparently I don't contribute to WJ. This source has been removed because personal reasons of me not wanting to share.

Good day.

{
        $source = file_get_contents("http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/$domain#");
        $regex = '/is ranked (.*) in/';
        preg_match($regex, $source, $match);

echo $domain." 's Alexa Traffic Rank is: ".GetAlexaTrafficRank($domain).".";
?>

Fixed

Easier for them noobs.

^ Won't work due to $domain is passed via function, not set outside of function etc.

Yeah, but it will work if you have the $domain variable in your code.

Goodjob btw

 

[deliteblogger]

function GetAlexaTrafficRank($domain) {
   $domain = preg_replace('#(https?://)?(www\.)?#i','',$domain);
   ...

This should strip "http://", "https://", "www.", so you can pass almost any domain to the function.

Try it yourself and heres the result:

Fix the regex

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wjunction.com

The rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors to
wjunction.com and pageviews on wjunction.com over the past 3 months. The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1.

That's why the regex fails.
Here's a fix:

function GetAlexaTrafficRank($domain)
{
        $source = file_get_contents("http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/$domain#");
        $regex = '#([0-9,]+)\s*</div>\s*<div class="label">Global Rank#';
        preg_match($regex, $source, $match);
        $newresult = str_replace("number", "", $match[1]);
        return $newresult;
}
echo "Wjunction's Alexa Traffic Rank is: ".GetAlexaTrafficRank("wjunction.com").".";
