Display your Feedburner stats

I’ve been away for the last week. My wife and I bought a flat in North London and finally moved in on March 16th. So I’m currently without the internet and won’t have it until the end of March which is frustrating when I want to update my blog but simply can’t so please excuse my infrequent posts over the next few weeks.

Here’s a quick piece of code to simply display your feedburner stats on your blog. I’m yet to post my stats publicly on my blog but have seen numerous blogs with the standard feedburner badge which I think is quite ugly. So here’s how to just get the stats using PHP and CURL. You can then style it how you like.

$ch = curl_init();
//set the feed url and options plus a timeout value
$timeout=5;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=AshleyFord-Papermashupcom');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);  
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
// get just the subscriber number using the regex function
$subscribers = get_match('/circulation="(.*)"/isU',$result);

echo 'Papermashup.com has <strong>'.$subscribers.'</strong> subscribers';

//close connection
curl_close($ch);

function get_match($regex,$result)
{
	preg_match($regex,$result,$matches);
	return $matches[1];
}
