How can I create a Searchstring for a Google AJAX Search API?
- by elmaso
Hello, i have this code to get the search resutls from the api:
querygoogle.php:
<?php
session_start();
// Here's the Google AJAX Search API url for curl. It uses Google Search's site:www.yourdomain.com syntax to search in a specific site. I used $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to find my domain automatically. Change $_POST['searchquery'] to your posted search query
$url = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?rsz=large&v=1.0&start=20&q=' . urlencode('' . $_POST['searchquery']);
// use fopen and fread to pull Google's search results
$handle = fopen($url, 'rb');
$body = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
$body .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
// now $body is the JSON encoded results. We need to decode them.
$json = json_decode($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 .= '
<div class="searchresult">
<h3><a href="' . $searchresult->unescapedUrl . '">' . $searchresult->titleNoFormatting . '</a></h3>
<p class="resultdesc">' . $searchresult->content . '</p>
<p class="resulturl">' . $searchresult->visibleUrl . '</p>
</div>';
}
}
$_SESSION['googleresults'] = $formattedresults;
header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
exit;
?>
search.php
<?php
session_start();
?>
<form method="post" action="querygoogle.php">
<label for="searchquery"><span class="caption">Search this site</span> <input type="text" size="20" maxlength="255" title="Enter your keywords and click the search button" name="searchquery" /></label> <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
<?php
if(!empty($_SESSION['googleresults']))
{
echo $_SESSION['googleresults'];
unset($_SESSION['googleresults']);
}
?>
but with this code, I cant add a searchstring..
how can i add a search string like search.php?search=keyword ?
thanks
