I have this script to do a google search using Google Custom Search . My problem is that when you do the form request returns blank, what would be the problem?
<?php
define('GOOGLE_API_KEY', 'AIzaSyBLx8EBzpqtwDXZKobQCBpBR893ABlefZc');
function curl_get($url, $params)
{
$post_params = array();
foreach ($params as $key => &$val) {
if (is_array($val)) $val = implode(',', $val);
$post_params[] = $key.'='.urlencode($val);
}
$post_string = implode('&', $post_params);
$fullurl = $url."?".$post_string;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $fullurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mailana (curl)');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
function perform_google_web_search($termstring)
{
$start = 0;
$result = array();
while ($start<50)
{
$searchurl = 'https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?';
$searchurl .= 'key='.GOOGLE_API_KEY;
$searchurl .= '&cx=017576662512468239146:omuauf_lfve';
$searchurl .= '&q='.urlencode($termstring);
$response = curl_get($searchurl, array());
$responseobject = json_decode($response, true);
if (count($responseobject['responseData']['results'])==0)
break;
$allresponseresults = $responseobject['responseData']['results'];
foreach ($allresponseresults as $responseresult)
{
$result[] = array(
'url' => $responseresult['url'],
'title' => $responseresult['title'],
'abstract' => $responseresult['content'],
);
}
$start += 8;
}
return $result;
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['q'])) {
$termstring = urldecode($_REQUEST['q']);
} else {
$termstring = '';
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google</title>

<body>
<div style="padding:20px;">

<form method="GET" action="">
Search terms: <input type="text" size="40" name="q" value='<?=$termstring?>'/>

<?php
if ($termstring!='') {
$googleresults = perform_google_web_search($termstring);
print '<br/><br/><h2>Google search results</h2><br/>';
foreach ($googleresults as $result) {
print '<a href="'.$result['url'].'">'.$result['title'].'</a><br/>';

}
}
?>
