Links exchange - link directory script
by Roman production jan 2024

gopher://shibboleths.org

Characteristics:

This script is a complete ready-made Links Directory
based on Yahoo section cataloging for PHP 5.2+ and
files instead of SQL.
The script is implemented on an install-and-using basis.
That is, it does not require you to change the code.

Reasons for creating the script:

My colleagues complain that is impossible to find anything
in modern search engines. Then I offered them a ready-made
Sauddirectory script. Then a number of complaints were made
about this script. So I had to modify it a lot there.

Changes I made to the Sauddirectory script:

- Module for searching a catalog of links has been written;
- A general statistics module has been written;
- Statistics module for the last 20 requests has been written;
- The TOP 5 most popular queries module has been written;
- A module for new added links has been written;
- Added support for adding links based on Gopher:// FTP://
HTTPS:// Telnet:// protocols;
- 16 sections interconnected by a common array were created.

Thus, a Yahoo!-like full-fledged convenient link exchange
directory was created that does not require any changes.
The script does not require installation or a SQL database.
Designed for communities that want to have a full exchange
of links between users. The script has pagination. Every 10
links create a new page!

I don't recommend:

I do not recommend changing the source code, because all
scripts are associated with 16 sections whose names are
universal and taken from the old Yahoo! This is a non-scalable
ready-made solution specifically created for my colleagues
as a finished product.

Installation and configuration:

1) Unzip the archive to your hard drive and upload to FTP://
2) Make all directories with numbers from 1 to 16 accessible
by writing 777;
3) For all files called links.txt, make the attribute 777;
4) For file called query.txt, make the attribute 777;
5) In the config.php file, specify the name of your link
directory;
6) Enjoy!
