"This system is done exclusively through Google's API (that way you are not breaking Google's terms of service)... And can I just say it was a hassle to get the XML/SOAP stuff working in PHP without any SOAP extensions installed (I had to write all the XML/SOAP functions... make direct socket connections, etc.) Google's search engine index is the driving force behind other large search engines as well, such as Yahoo and AOL"

No longer the driving force behind Yahoo, as you know.

Why didn't you just use NuSoap. Seeing as how I give my script away for free, I can distribute NuSoap right along with it.

If anybody's interested check it out at ThinkBling (http://www.Think Bling.com).

...or if you just want new soap...
NuSoap (http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/)

Because if I create my own SOAP class, then I'm not subject to other programmers stupidity (that's a general statement, nothing towards nusoap).

A perfect example of this is Google's own soap clients don't work with Japanese, Chinese or Korean keywords. The problem is with their client, not the backend server. Which is why they keyword tracker works with them, even though the Google API FAQ says support is "coming".
