Hey out there

Time for another script from me , well this one will allow you to search on Google using a class with some functions i've just finish putting together =)

Lets start out by making the class and then explain the functions and last some examples.

The Class:

CODE

About Google Spell check:
The spell function (GoogleSearch::getSpellInfo()) will only return an result if you're on page on (mean you starting the search from $start 0, default), this function also returns an array. First array item ("spell") is set to true if google suggest something and the other array item ("item") is what google suggest you to search on. example:

CODE

<?php
    // Assuming that $google is the an "GoogleSearch" Object and a
    // search has been performed...

    $spell = $google->getSpellInfo();

    if($spell['spell'])
    {
        echo("Google suggest you to search on: " . $spell['item']);
    }
?>

Examples of usage:

A Normal standard search:
This small example is using the default search options set by the GoogleSearch::GoogleSearch() constructor function, we are searching on "Free ClanTemplates":

CODE

<?php
    // Include class
    require_once('./googlesearch.class.php');

    // Construct
    $google =& new GoogleSearch();

    // Set query
    $google->setQuery("Free ClanTemplates");

    // Perform search
    $google->performSearch();

    // Run a loop and display the results
    foreach($google->getSearchResults() as $result)
    {
        echo("
            <p />
                <div style=\"width: 600px;\">
                    <h3>" . $result['title'] . "</h3>
                    " . $result['description'] . "<br />
                    <a href=\"" . $result['url'] . "\" target=\"_new\">" . $result['url'] . "</a>
                </div>
            ");
    }

    // Shutdown
    $google = null;
?>

Exampe output:

Search using google spell check (Remember you can set spell check off using GoogleSearch::setSpell() to 0):
An exampe showing how easy it is to use the Google Spell check, we search on "prodict" with 3 results:

CODE

    // Include class
    require_once('./googlesearch.class.php');

    // Construct
    $google =& new GoogleSearch();

    // Set query
    $google->setQuery("Free ClanTemplates");

    // Set max results to 3
    $google->setNum(3);

    // Perform search
    $google->performSearch();

    // Run a loop and display the results
    foreach($google->getSearchResults() as $result)
    {
        echo("
            <p />
                <div style=\"width: 600px;\">
                    <h3>" . $result['title'] . "</h3>
                    " . $result['description'] . "<br />
                    <a href=\"" . $result['url'] . "\" target=\"_new\">" . $result['url'] . "</a>
                </div>
            ");
    }

    // Spell check
    $spellinfo = $google->getSpellInfo();

    if($google->getStart() == 0 && $spellinfo['spell'])
    {
        echo("
            <p style=\"border-top: 3px solid #000000;\">
                <span style=\"color: red;\">Did you mean: " . $spellinfo['item'] . "?</span>
            ");
    }

    // Shutdown
    $google = null;
?>

Note that the Spell thing isnt working very well, so it might give lots of errors, my suggestion until I come out with a new version that fixes this is to not using it

Cheers,
Kalle
