function name2key($name)
  {
      define(NULL_KEY, "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000");
      $key = file('http://w-hat.com/name2key/?terse=1&name=' . urlencode( $name ));       
             if($key[0] != NULL_KEY)
             {
                //Happens if it is a valid key
                echo "Your name is in the database";
                //You can also delete the above and only use the following (See use example 2 for information on how to use it)
               return $key[0];
             }
             else
             {
                //Happens if the request returns NULL_KEY
                echo "Your name was not found in the database";
                return NULL_KEY;
             }
  }

You can put this function into a class, or another file

There are several ways to use this. Either just return true/false with the echos, or return the key which can be much more useful.

// In order to get the name variable from the URL use the following code:
// Example 1
name2key($_GET['name']);
// To return the key, use example 2:
$key = name2key($_GET['name']);

Here are some modifications to this script to see them in action go to http:www.sltrinkets.com/key/key.php In this example you type the name of the avatar in the box and press go. It returns their key. Mods by Draco Kamachi.
