Hi Tegan,

This is bcos of “URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration”.

You’d use CURL instead of fopen.

Pagination:

foreach($json->responseData->cursor->pages as $pp)
{
echo ‘start.’&search=’.urlencode($searchterm).’”>’.$pp->label.’ ‘;
}

This is a great tutorial. Has any found out if this is permitted through Google’s terms and conditions?

I tried some of the suggestions for pagination, but to no avail. Has anybody implemented it with pagination?

it looks like the php stopped parsing. Maybe there is a close php ?> tag in there?

Another Question:
Anyone know how to make this work with the word definition functionality of google ie you can type Definition BigWordToDefine and googles top result is normally the definition of the word but in this example, even if you change the site to search to google, it still does not work like it works on google. You just get google search results without the top definition result.

I am getting this thing after hitting the search button…? can somebody help me out with this…?

decode($body); // now $json is an object of Google’s search results and we need to iterate through it. foreach($json->responseData->results as $searchresult) { if($searchresult->GsearchResultClass == ‘GwebSearch’) { $formattedresults .= ‘
‘ . $searchresult->titleNoFormatting . ‘

‘ . $searchresult->content . ‘

‘ . $searchresult->visibleUrl . ‘
‘; } } $_SESSION['googleresults'] = $formattedresults; header(‘Location: ‘ . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); exit; ?>

Can I get an example of a page that uses this? I tried viewing the code for the searchbox on this page and it looks different. That’d be very helpful, as I am new to php
