LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksHi guys!
I have made some little PHP code that check the owner of a photo on Facebook that the user inputs.
I'm not sure that it works, but I can't see it a reason why it shouldn't haha. I have no option to run it at the moment, so feel free to test it and fix it in case it doesn't work (will be mainly dumb mistakes).
I commented everything, so I hope it helps someone who tries to study PHP. It's VERY basic, but cute.
Here is the HTML front page:
And here is the data.phpPHP Code:<html>
<body>
<form action="data.php" method="post">
http://www.<input type="text" name="address">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP Code:<html>
<body>
<?php
$address = $_POST["address"]; //getting the address
$start = strrpos($address,"."); //last dot in the address, the ID starts there
$start = $start++; //we don't need the dot, so we are moving forward
if(!strpos($address,"&type=1&theater")) //sometimes the user will put it too, so if he didn't do it (and the output will be FALSE), this will run
{
$id = substr($address,$start); //the substring starts where the $start is, and goes until the end
}
else //in case he didn't put the whole type and theater thing
{
$end = strpos($address,"&type=1&theater"); //this will be the end of the id
$id = substr($address,$start,$end - $start); //starts in $start and the length equals the position of the end minus the position of the start
}
$url = "http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=" . $id; //putting up the url
$str = file_get_contents($url); //getting the page source
$name_start = strpos($str,'<title id="pageTitle">'); //name starts here
$name_end = strpos($str,'</title>'); //name ends here
$name = substr($str,$name_start,$name_end-$name_start); //this will be the name
$name = str_replace('<title id="pageTitle">',"",$name); //we don't need the tag in the name, so we are deleting it
?>
The photo belongs to the user/page named <?php echo $name; ?>.<br>
The url to his profile is <?php echo $url; ?>
</body>
</html>

Little PHP code to check photo owner on Facebook

A while back I actually rigged up a little web app to do just this.
You should expand on it a bit more.
Good work though. Just keep in mind it doesn't work for all URLs
Also, not proficient in PHP but wouldn't using a split function on the string be more reliable?I don't get tired.

If you mean exploding it into an array, it's possible too.
Justand we will get an array. and the index will be 5 (6 dots overall in the address, we need the last one). If the user will input the "&type=1&theater" as well, we will need to check and cut it as well.PHP Code:explode(".",$address)

When did you make this? I know Facebook used to have a lot of complaints from people being able to harvest a user's profile page from their picture URLs and had fixed it. Dunno if this attempts to use the same system. But that was like a year ago or so.

I made it in the same day I posted it, so it should work.
