Google Scraping - Third Party Script Modifications

[uniqueideaman]

Hi,

If anyone manages to get the Google Rank Checker up and running with a few changes then care to share!

It was found here:

Scraping Google Ranks for Fun and Profit

http://google-rank-checker.squabbel.com/source/simple_html_dom.php.txt
http://google-rank-checker.squabbel.com/source/google-rank-checker.php.txt

On the final file mentioned above, I get error:

**#!/usr/bin/php **
Notice: Use of undefined constant YOUR_USER_ID - assumed ‘YOUR_USER_ID’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\e_id\google_scraper\google-rank-checker.php on line 26

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\e_id\google_scraper\functions.php on line 445

Thanks!

Hi,

If anyone manages to get the Google Suggest up and running with a few changes then care to share!

It was found here:

Files:

http://scrape-google-suggest.compunect.com/source/functions-sgs.php.txt

I see nothing but complete blank white pages.

Thanks!

I would imagine that rather than typing the text YOUR_USER_ID there, the author expects you to substitute your user id.

Yes. I figured they want my gmail id.
But, how to solve the other error ?

It’d be easier to help if you posted the code here. A few lines either side of the error line should do it. I imagine you have a & character where there should not be one, but it’s a guess.
