Reader class - parse a web sites links into array

<b> download link now on arthurcote.com </b> I read a bunch of headline sites which takes alot of clicking. So I created the Reader class to extract all links, e.g., <a href.....>..</a> to a php array. I then created a web page for myself that displays 4 websites work of headlines on a single web page. This saves me a lot of page loads and typing. So I thought I'd post it in case someone might find it useful...

Parse html with preg_match_all

	For the most of the PHP scripter which are using preg_match or preg_replace frequently is the function preg_match_all a smaller advantage, but for all others it’s maybe hard to understand. The biggest difference between preg_match_all and the regular preg_match is that all matched values are stored inside a multi-dimensional array to store an unlimited number of matches.

Optimized script for fetching google pagerank

Most scripts written for getting a google pagerank connect to the google servers everytime someone views a page where the script is called. Depending on how busy your site is this can mean that you connect to google thousands of times each day to get exactly the same information. This script uses a cache to prevent this from happening. The first time someone visits your site the script connects to google and then after that the pagerank value is fetched from a cache. This is far faster (my tests suggested about 30 times faster) and requires less bandwidth. Beyond the benefits in time it is also easy to use and can be used to either fetch a value for the pagerank or generate html code to display an image representing the pagerank

Contacting a contact list

Using freely available php classes I show how it is possible to download the contact list from Gmail and/or the MSN messenger service (given a username and password) and return this to the user. The user can then select or deselect the contacts they wish to send an email to before submitting the form and sending emails to all their chosen contacts. This is quite a nice method to 'turbocharge' the basic 'tell-a-friend' style script. Rather than contacting one friend it is quick and simple to contact fifty or a hundred contacts which means more likely visitors to your site.
