I've been wanting to get a backlink script working for Geeklog for a while,
seems like they've become quite popular in weblog circles. There is a
Perl[*1] version that many people
seem to be using, so I took a crack at converting it to PHP but it's a bit longwinded. Naturally PHP has many
built-in functions that make this kind of thing a lot easier than Perl ;-)
To view an example of the referrer PHP Block check out http://www.phpkitchen.com/[*2] , it's on the left side under the Amazon block. The source code is available
here. I started
off Charles F. Johnson's code from http://littlegreenfootballs.com which really
is very good then modified it to display unique referrers.
Full install instruction are here[*3] ;
By the way, we're also running the PHPkitchen
Awards[*4] , pop by and vote for your favour PHP software.

I'm sure it's a great block, but it doesn't work for me as I get these errors:
Warning: Wrong datatype in array_unique() call in /home/finiserv/public_html/thane/system/lib-custom.php on line 206
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/finiserv/public_html/thane/system/lib-custom.php on line 208
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/finiserv/public_html/thane/system/lib-custom.php on line 214
Hmm?

That seems like a kick ass block, but it's too bad I can't get it to work. I've followed your instructions, but when I enable the block and go to my front page I only see the header and the left hand blocks. None of my content or right hand blocks show up. It seems to have bombed somewhere in the code. Is anyone else having this problem?

apologies for this ;-) best disable the block till the bugs are sorted out. As I mentioned to the user above, I have it working in PHP 4.06 and 4.1.3 with no issues.
Errors: FIXED

It was a simple error, the reflog.txt cannot be empty - simply insert at least one fully qualified URL in the blank file and the block will work fine. Or download the updated source at http://www.phpkitchen.com/docs/referrersUnique.v0.1.zip
Very nice!

demianturner, can you modify the script a bit, bounce at least 2-3 domains? Currently yours only bounce off 1 domain. Any PHP guys wanna help me out here?

Could you sort the reslults by hits per domain? I tried to play around with sort() and array_multisort() but couldn't quite find the right fit?

hi squatty, I have domain sorting and rank by hits working, and an autodeleting cron job every x hours if your list gets too big. just adding some final touches like
www.longdomain.co ... [23]
www.normaldomain.com [1]
then will put up v0.2 for download.
