Question

I’ve been trying to code my own keyword position ranking scanner for SEO purposes. I found a PHP class that looks like it will be very helpful but I can’t figure out how to get it working.

I’m fairly new to using classes/functions with PHP.

This is the code I found:
http://www.andreyvoev.com/programming/simple-serp-tracker-php-class/

I’ve copied and pasted it exactly and it’s still not working. Would someone be willing to explain it to me?

EDIT

What I ended up doing was put the whole thing in one script, I have the class at the beginning of the script along with the class GoogleTracker and then I have the bit that runs it.

$test =  new GoogleTracker(array ('lsp'), 'adventuretime.wikia.com', 50);
        //$test->use_proxy('proxy.txt');
        $test->run();

        $results = $test->get_results();
       // $debug = $test->get_debug_info();

        print $results;
        //print_r($debug);

And when I run it in my browser the only that that prints is

Array()

Am I doing something wrong or is it the script?

Answer 1

I don’t know why it took me so long to see this.. yes, you are doing something wrong. You are attempting to convert an array to a string.

This does not work with a normal print() function, as it expects a string as input.. not a mixed variable. To view the results, you either want print_r(), or to look at the array key directly:

$results = $test->get_results();
print($results["lsp"]);
