We want a function (or class) written in PHP which generates and returns the Google Pagerank (PR) checksum for a submitted URL, needed for requesting Pagerank codes. (The checksum is individually generated for each URL and is submitted by the parameter "ch=1234567890" in any Google Toolbar request. Please bid only if you've already solved the checksum calculation/algorithm and tested it.) The function/class only needs to generate and return this checksum, all other types of Pagerank requests, API calls etc. are NOT needed. Your code should include complete documentation on how you achieved it, and in-line documentation for another programmer to follow and extend. Please state if you will deliver updates for this code, or not, in case of checksum/algorithm changes by Google - and for what duration after this first delivery. If there are additional costs for these updates, please state them, too. Only solutions in PHP are needed, please no "closed source" or compiled PHP (i. e. Zend, IONCube etc.). We need this code within 3 - 4 days after the bidding is closed.
