RE: [PHP] picturing webpage

Not sure that you wanted to know this or if this was mentioned already as I'm just now going through my 13,000+ emails from this list, but this isn't done dynamically. I'm betting that this Alexa company gets the urls that are posted for viewing and then goes out to grab the site's pictures manually, I tried 4 sites in my own town and none had pictures, but said "Coming soon" where the pic was to be. roughridershockey.com wolf-smart.com <---my site techwiz.net <--friends site collinscu.org <--my friends bank So hope that helps in your pursuit of the unknown! Good Luck! -----Original Message----- From: Ryan A [mailto:ryan@coinpass.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 2:58 PM To: linux@nittanytravel.com Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] picturing webpage Hey, if they are paying for this service of getting thumbnails.....maybe I can write a script that keeps on hitting their site with different random URLs!!!! Would be a good way to make them pay for spamming me anyway. Whos with me? Cheers, -Ryan ***** Getting closer.. Did a little digging.. The script goes to alexa.com, from what I see, alexa is doing the work then sending the pics out. http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/xml_feed.html Does this help with anyone explaining how this works?
