RE: [PHP] make use of search results from public search engines

My guess is that Google is smart enough not to allow this type of query. I would bet that the Google search script checks to make sure that the IP address of the machine that is sending this query matches one of their internal machines. If it isn't, nothing is sent. This is pretty common practice. Just my guess though... --- Kurt A.

How do I do that? I tried the following script, but it doesn't work. :-( <? function PostToHost($host, $path, $referer, $data_to_send) { $fp = fsockopen($host,80); fputs($fp, "GET $path HTTP/1.1\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n"); fputs($fp, "Referer: $referer\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n"); fputs($fp, $data_to_send); while(!feof($fp)) { $msg .= fgets($fp, 128); } return $msg; fclose($fp); } PostToHost("www.google.com","/search","http://www.google.com","q=zend+optimi zer+site:www.php.net"); echo $msg; ?> Thanks.
