I need a good PHP programmer for this fun and challenging project.
This is fairly straightforward:
I need a function written in PHP that will return the Alexa Traffic Rank, the Google Page Rank and the new Yahoo Web Rank for any URL that is fed to it.
I know this is possible since there are independent solutions out there that can do this; however, I want this integrated into a single program that can do it all.
I intend to integrate this function that you will create with another PHP application that I already have written, so please keep that in mind and make it as flexible as possible.
You'll need to do some research to determine how this is possible as this will undoubtedly require an ingenious solution.
I do have some examples of other people doing similar things, but no idea how they did it:
1. Google PageRank - <[login to view URL]>
2. Yahoo! WebRank - <[login to view URL]>
Your final code should include complete documentation on how you achieved it, and in-line documentation for another programmer to follow.
You should completely test your solution to ensure that it works without blatantly abusing Google's, Yahoo's or Alexa's interface.
I need this solution in 7 days.
