Step 1. Make a PHP file and define markup and scripting
We make a PHP file and save it with a name rank.php
<?php
function alexaRank($url)
{
$alexaData = simplexml_load_file("http://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&url=".$url);
$alexa['globalRank'] = isset($alexaData->SD->POPULARITY) ? $alexaData->SD->POPULARITY->attributes()->TEXT : 0 ;
$alexa['CountryRank'] = isset($alexaData->SD->COUNTRY) ? $alexaData->SD->COUNTRY->attributes() : 0 ;
return json_decode(json_encode($alexa), TRUE);
}
if(isset($_GET['siteinfo']))
{
$url = $_GET['siteinfo'];
$alexa = alexaRank($url);
$globalRank ="Global Alexa Rank of ".$_GET['siteinfo']." is : ".$alexa['globalRank'][0];
$countryRank ="Alexa Rank In ".$alexa['CountryRank']['@attributes']['NAME']." is : ".$alexa['CountryRank']['@attributes']['RANK'];
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<link href="rank.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<form method="get" id="rank_form">
<p>Enter Website To Get Alexa Rank</p>
<input type="text" name="siteinfo" placeholder="E.g. www.talkerscode.com" required="required"/>
<input type="submit" value="Find">
</form>
<p class="rank_para"><?php echo $globalRank; ?></p>
<p class="rank_para"><?php echo $countryRank;?></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In this step we create a function to get alexa rank this function is pre defined by alexa to fetch rank you have to only pass the website name.
Then we create a form which is used to enter alexa rank. Then after submiting the form $alexa['globalRank'][0] is used to get the global rank and $alexa['CountryRank']['@attributes']['RANK'] is used to get rank in your own country.
