HomePHP Page 6 - Count Backlinks from Unique Domains Using Yahoo Inbound Links API
PHP-Powered Web Form - PHP
If you've just started using the Yahoo Site Explorer Inbound Links API and want to know how far you can take it, keep reading. This three-part series will show you how to build an application that can help you track your links.
One of the suggested user-friendly web forms uses AJAX PHP validation (details here). We will use this one as an example. As discussed earlier, the form should accept the following user inputs:
1. Root domain URL (starting with http:// and NOT ending with a trailing slash). For example:
www.php-developer.org is NOT acceptable
http://www.php-developer.org/ is NOT acceptable
http://www.php-developer.org – ACCEPTABLE
2. The choice of whether to analyze back links pointing to the entire domain or just to the home page.
3. A captcha for user validation.
The screenshot below shows what the HTML form will look like:
In part two, we will discuss the PHP script/source code in detail.
