position in search engines

[fanfan69]

hi,

I want to creat a simple app that crawls a search engine using predetermind keyword and parse the resulting code to find the position in the page before inserting it in a database.

ouch !

consider using fopen to open the search page with the query i.e.

$myFile = fopen("http://www.domain.com/search.php?query=keyword", "r");

then use fread() to read the file into a variable. You can then use strpos() to find the first occurence of the keyword in the returned results. hope this helps.
