a more OO approach might be to use the Snoopy PHP class (http://snoopy.sourceforge.net)
This will allow you to do GET/POST method requests on URLS with query variables, ie: POST $snoopy = new Snoopy; $submit_vars["q"] = [ form variables ]; $submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search"; $snoopy->submit($submit_url,$submit_vars); $result = $snoopy->results; GET $snoopy = new Snoopy; $submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=".[ form variables ]; $snoopy->fetch($submit_url); $result = $snoopy->results; Then simply parse through $result; > -----Original Message----- > From: lallous [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 4:24 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Re: Getting PHP to submit a form to google > > > by simple ways, you can do that: > > $query = urlencode("your query string") > $result_string = join('', file(http://www.google.com/search?q=$query)); > > > Elias > > "Henry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Hi all > > > > I would like to be able to get the result of a search from > google.
