    Have you changed anything within the search.php file other than the $site variable and adding your Google API key?

    I was getting error messages and had to change the following line

    eval ('$urls = '.$line.';');

    to

    eval("\$urls = \"".$line."\";")

    Appart from that I inserted my google API and set

    $site = "www.borderscollege.ac.uk";

    To be honest, I'm not really sure... everything looks good on this end (as far as the request your server is making).

    What error were you getting with the eval() line? That might be the problem...

    Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/sites/site112/web/search_new.php(50) : eval()'d code on line 2

    Parse error: parse error in /home/sites/site112/web/search_new.php(50) : eval()'d code on line 45


    I have re-uploaded the original search.php file. If you try a search you will see the exact error.
