Update:
-------

[](#update)

The underlying `paquettg/php-html-parser` in `^1.7` wasn't PHP 7.3 ready so I forked the project, updated the dependency and reuploaded it.

Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

`composer require repat/limonte-spam-link-analyser`

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

```
$spamLinkAnalyser = new Limonte\SpamLinkAnalyser;

$status = $spamLinkAnalyser->check($url);

if ($status === SpamLinkAnalyser::OK) {
    // link is OK
} else {
    // link is suspicious
}

if ($status === SpamLinkAnalyser::GOOGLE_BOT_DIFFERENT_REDIRECT) {
    // link has different redirect locations for browser and for Google Bot
}

if ($status === SpamLinkAnalyser::TOO_MUCH_REDIRECTS) {
    // link has 3 or more redirects
}
```
