RSS Scrape (w/ permission) to my Site's Search Query... How?

So I am scraping content off a site (with permission)

<?php
$page = file_get_contents(
    'http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends/atom/hourly');
preg_match_all('(<a href="(.+)">(.*)</a>)siU', $page, $matches);
 
// Job’s done!
// $matches[1] array contains all URLs, and 
// $matches[2] array contains all anchors
?>

PHP:

Basically, how can I take the content and put it into my search query? Basically I want to have a little list of it to choose from...

<div id="latest">   <BR><BR> 
          <span id="examples">Recent Searches: <span id="qph"></span> 
          <a href="http://mywebsite.com/index.php?q=" class="recent_search"></a><a href="http://mywebsite.com/index.php?q=" class="recent_search"></a>          </span> 
        </div><br />

Code (markup):

 

<div id="latest"><BR><BR>
<span id="examples">Recent Searches: <span id="qph"></span>
<?php
foreach ($matches[1] as $k=>$v){
echo '<a href="http://mywebsite.com/index.php?q=' . $v . '" class="recent_search">' . $matches[2][$k] . '</a><br/>';
}
?>
</div>

 

hmm.. having trouble getting it to work...

So I got it to appear correctly... but instead of showing the words, it is showing the google links. so the q= is displaying instead of (for example) shuttle launch, so mywebsite.org/index.php?q=shuttlelaunch
it is instead showing mywebsite.org/index/php?q=http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends/shuttlelaunch

 

just change $v to $matches[2][$k] =)

 

Thanks dude. Prefect
Just one question. How can I make it so the first thing shows up in my search?

 

What do you mean "first"?
By default if will output is the same order as you make calls...


If you grab data and output you need use asort() or sort().
If you store this in DB just use ORDER BY in query.

 

I think I messed something up... it doesn't work in my search query. I have it where I can search but it doesn't recognize it. I've been tinkering with several designs so I'm not sure why this does it like this....

like I have a var params = (shuttle) where I was just shuffling searches.

 

Have you by any chance returned?

 

Do you still need help?

Just post your code and what exactly do you wanna change.

 

The code is really long, so I'll do a snipet. Basically I want the firsts result from the scrape to appear in the search first. So when you go to the site, it is already looking up a search result first.

<?php
$page = file_get_contents(
    'http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends/atom/hourly');
preg_match_all('(<a href="(.+)">(.*)</a>)siU', $page, $matches);
 
// Job’s done!
// $matches[1] array contains all URLs, and 
// $matches[2] array contains all anchors
?>	
 
 
        <div class='examples' id="latest"> 
          <div id="latest"><BR><BR> 
<span id="examples">Recent Searches: <span id="qph"></span> 
<?php
foreach ($matches[1] as $k=>$v){
echo '<a href="http://[website].com/random3.php?q=' . $matches[2][$k] . '" class="recent_search">' . $matches[2][$k] . '</a><br/>';
}
?>
</div>
          
 
        <div id="results"><div id="sharesearch"></div></div> 
        <div class="waitloading"><img src='spinner.gif'></div> 
        <div id="finished">No more results. Try another search!</div> 
  </div> 
      </div> 
    </div> 
    
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
    <script>
    
 
      $(function() {
        var examples = $matches[2]
 
        var params={
          q:  examples[0],  // query str
          gender:  'any',   // male female any
          maxlen:  500      // max message len
        };
        document.location.search.replace(/[?&]([^&=]+)=([^&]+)/g,function(_,key,val) {
          val = decodeURIComponent(val).replace(/\+/g,' ');
          if (val + "" !== "undefined") {
            params[key]=val; 
          }
        });
        
 

PHP:

 

So do you store this data in DB(or in files)?

If not you need perform this request to google every time...

 

Not at all. Don't want it to be stored, or need it.

I would just like to have the first "scrape" appear right the search.

Isn't there a way to set q = $match[1] or somehow to make the first result appear?

 

You can make query using onload event. Otherwise you need somehow cache/store results to show something before user's query

 

Hmm. How could I do that?

Another thing I wanted to try, is to make a "recent" posts, that showed the 10 recent search queries. I would have to store that probably?
