I am a freelancer Senior Backend Engineer working on my free time for develop this.
If you want pay me some beer or severals to appreciate the efforts:
Install with composer with only:
composer require shakaran/adstxtparser
Requires PHP 7.0+.
A quick use to instanciate and run over a domain is:
use AdsTxtParser\Parser;
$parser = new Parser();
$parser->readExternalFile('http://estaticos.elmundo.es');Note: that you only have to pass as argument the domain.
After you already fetch the data in the Parser object, you can query about errors:
$errors = $parser->getErrors();Or warnings:
$warnings = $parser->getWarnings();Or get the variables defined:
$variables = $parser->getVariables();Or get the fields defined:
$fields = $parser->getFields();Or get the comments defined:
$comments = $parser->getComments();Even more complex operations, as know the list of resellers:
$resellers = $parser->getResellers();Or the list or directs:
$directs = $parser->getDirects();A complex example using all the options could be:
try
{
// By default localhost
$parser = new Parser();
$parser->readExternalFile('http://estaticos.elmundo.es');
// More examples to test:
// https://elpais.com/ads.txt
// https://www.elconfidencial.com/ads.txt
}
catch(AdsFileNotFound $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$comments = $parser->getComments();
// var_dump($comments);
$errors = $parser->getErrors();
//var_dump($errors);
$warnings = $parser->getWarnings();
// var_dump($warnings);
$fields = $parser->getFields();
// var_dump($fields);
$variables = $parser->getVariables();
//var_dump($variables);
$resellers = $parser->getResellers();
//var_dump(count($resellers));
$directs = $parser->getDirects();
//var_dump(count($directs));Executing the tests:
Run a local webserver under Test directory:
cd Tests; sudo php -S localhost:80
