Sorry Patrick. I was way off. I thought he was asking how to achieve the
task in its enirety. I've revisited the originel email and, in my defence,
it really wasn't terribly explicit.

Now to tackle those Googlers.

PHP outputs whatever HTML markup you tell it to output, once you've done all
your totalresults/blahblah stuff. But, what should you print or echo? *That*
is what the original question was. A paragraph with a series of links? An
unordered list of links? A definition list?

You seem to have missed the point of the original question.

Yes, let them know that their pages should really be marked up with
structural HTML or XHTML... :)
