Wikipedia API with PHP

[gr8gatzb]

I am trying to create something like this:

 

http://dayprime.com/?q=apple

 

The box at the top is taking data (the first paragraph) and a picture from wikipedia based on a keyword.

 

However, when I use the opensearch action in the wikipedia API (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php), it returns just one line and a much smaller picture. Any ideas or code or links to show me how I can take an image and the first paragraph of a wikipedia article?

 

Thanks!

Preg_match can look through domains contents and extract data that you select.

Although it is fairly slow, however gets the job done.
