You might look at the
http://www.htdig.org/files/contrib/wrappers/xmlsearch.tar.gz
They have used the header/footer/wrapper files to put the search
results into an XML format.
Also the
http://www.htdig.org/files/contrib/wrappers/htsearch-php3.0.1.1.tar.gz
is a start on a PHP page that calls the CGI.
Check out XSLT for use a nice XML parser in PHP.

I'm working on a project to compile htdig with a set of API
functions into 'libhtdig'.
Part of this will be writing a second very small library
'libhtdigphp' that contains PHP wrappers for libhtdig.
Ultimately this could be a prefereable approach to forking an
htsearch process and processng the output. There is a definite
performance hit for calling a seperate CGI from php vs calling functions
within PHP... context switching, memory paging, & the overhead of parsing
the output etc.
My ETA on a servicable first version is end of the week.
Thanks
