Try this, and read up on regular expressions - it's an essential
knowledge if you're a programmer.

$text = "this is where the contents of your search result page goes";
preg_match_all('|]*href="([^"]+)"[^>]*>([^<]+)<\/a>|U', $text,
$links, PREG_SET_ORDER);
print_r($links);

[PHP] regular expressions or something else?

2006-04-11 Thread Chris Westbrook
I have a problem.  I'm trying to get a Google search results page via snoopy 
and then display the links of the results it returns in an application.  I 
know about the fetchlinks function in snoopy, but I'm having trouble getting 
the text between the  and  tags.  Yeah, I know, I should use the 
Google API, but my client doesn't want me doing that, probably because they 
might have to pay for that.  any suggestions?
