Technology Top List Directory- phpLD PageRank Updater

Technology Top List Directory- phpLD PageRank Updater

Introduction:


phpLD PageRank Updater is a standalone application designed so directory owners can update the PageRank on all their links remotely. This application does not run on your webserver. That way massive checking of PageRank will not be associated with a site running phpLD. This tool runs independantly of your directory bare from access to your MySQL database.


How It Works:


phpLD PageRank Updater needs access to the following:

1) The IP address or host name of your phpLD MySQL database - Port 3306.
2) The IP address of Google.com - Port 80.


This application checks the table PLD_LINK in your MySQL database and for each URL found it checks to see if the RageRank has changed. If it has changed it updates the PageRank in the MySQL database with the latest PR.



Compatibility:


This application has been tested and works with the following versions of phpLD: 2.x, 3.0.x, 3.1, 3.2
