-Suicide- wrote this is pretty cool how long do you think it will take to run all the possible names?

iyop45 wrote I decided to run a script to officially find every single og name on ttg.
I found a pre-populated text file with what appears to be all the word in the English language: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The script was then executed and here are the results (I will run it for every 100 or so words at a time as it would takes ages if I ran it all at once):
1-100: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
100-200: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
200-300: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
300-400: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The script:


   function curl_file_get_contents($url){
      $curl = curl_init();
      $userAgent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)';

      curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,$url); //The URL to fetch. This can also be set when initializing a session with curl_init().
      curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE); //TRUE to return the transfer as a string of the return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it out directly.
      curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,5); //The number of seconds to wait while trying to connect.   

      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent); //The contents of the "User-Agent: " header to be used in a HTTP request.
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, TRUE); //To fail silently if the HTTP code returned is greater than or equal to 400.
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); //To follow any "Location: " header that the server sends as part of the HTTP header.
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE); //To automatically set the Referer: field in requests where it follows a Location: redirect.
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10); //The maximum number of seconds to allow cURL functions to execute.   

      $contents = curl_exec($curl);
      curl_close($curl);
      return $contents;
   }
   set_time_limit(0);
   $timer = new timer(1);
   // Open the file
   $filename = 'brit-a-z.txt';
   $fp = @fopen($filename, 'r');

   // Add each line to an array
   if($fp){
      $array = explode("\n", fread($fp, filesize($filename)));
   }
   for($i = 0; $i < count($array) && $i<100; ++$i){
      $name = trim($array[$i]);
      $url = 'http://thetechgame.com/' . $name;
      $buffer = curl_file_get_contents($url);
      // Check if user account is taken
      if(strpos($buffer,'There is no available info for') !== false){
         echo 'user "' . $name . '" is available <a href="http://thetechgame.com/' . $name . '">link</a><br>';
      }else{
         echo '<span style="text-decoration:line-through">user "' . $name . '" is <b>not</b> available </span><br>';
      }
   }


* The curl function was used from a blog.
* I will update it with more if people want me to.
* This list counts suspended accounts as being available ( I forgot about that )
So far have done 300 out of 79,769/92,627
