Using CURL with Google
- by TheBounder
I want to CURL to Google to see how many results it returns for a certain search.
I've tried this:
$url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=".$strSearch."&hl=en&start=0&sa=N";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
But it just returns a 405 Method Allowed google error.
Any ideas?
Thanks
