Simple PHP Bing SERP Ranking Checker

I needed a quick test script that I could fire up easily on almost any machine to validate the differences I was seeing in Bing results across their cluster as well as investigate their geo-targeted and facebook integrated results, so I whipped up this handy PHP script for scraping SERP rankings. Instead of filing it away in my massive archive of utility scripts, I thought I'd release it.

Basic PHP script for scraping SERP rankings from Bing. For ease of packaging, I've included the connection class in the main script. If you're planning on building this out, I recommend putting it in a separate file and including it for easier maintenance.

Features:

* Free!
* Returns top 50 results
* Returns # of results for search term/query
* Encapsulated HTTP connection class using libCurl PHP wrappers
* Gzip compression (Can be enabled or disabled)
* Accessors for customizing User-Agent and Referer HTTP headers
* Accessors for setting cookies and additional HTTP headers

NOTE: If you copy/paste this into a file, be sure to enclose it ALL within tags.

ActiveModel Object With Multi-Part Attribute/Date Support

Simple Ruby ActiveModel class that works with View and Form helpers in Rails 3. Appears to handle dates properly. Let me know if any problems arise:

class CreditCard
  include ActiveModel::Validations
  include ActiveModel::Conversion
  extend ActiveModel::Naming    

  attr_accessor :name
  attr_accessor :number
  attr_accessor :expiration_date
  attr_accessor :code
  
  validates_presence_of [ :name, :number, :expiration_date, :validation_code ]
  validates_format_of :number, :with => /^\d+$/, :if => Proc.new {|o| !o.card_number.blank? && !o.errors[:card_number] }
  validates_format_of :code, :with => /^\d+$/, :if => Proc.new {|o| !o.code.blank? && !o.errors[:code] }
  
  def initialize( attrs = {} )
    if !attrs.nil? then
      dattrs = {}
      attrs.each do |n, v|
        if n.match( /^(.+)\(.+\)$/ ) then
          an = Regexp.last_match[1]
          dattrs[an] = [] if dattrs[an].nil?
          dattrs[an] << { :n => n, :v => v }
        else
          send( "#{n}=", v)          
        end          
      end
      dattrs.each do |k, v|
        vs = v.sort_by{|hv| hv[:n] }.collect{|hv| hv[:v] }
        p1 = vs[0]
        p2 = ( vs[1].size() > 0 ? ( vs[1].size() == 1 ? "0#{vs[1]}" : vs[1] ) : "01" )
        p3 = ( vs[2].size() > 0 ? ( vs[2].size() == 1 ? "0#{vs[2]}" : vs[2] ) : "01" )
        dv = [ p1, p2, p3 ].join( "-" )
        begin send( "#{k}=", Date.parse( dv ) ); rescue; end
      end
    end        
  end
  
  def persisted?
    false
  end
  
end
