php code to find related keywords

[Jeffro]

Here's a neat little script that you simply use by calling yourscript.php?microsoft (where microsoft is any keyword you want) and it returns 100 related keywords.  It's pretty raw in it's form.  I didn't write it. 

Purely for learning, I'm trying to figure out how to

1) issue a line break between each item in the elements of the arry? 

2) return only the keywords and not the associated array info. 

 

Currently, it returns results like:

Array ( [0] => microsoft [1] => microsoft security essentials [2] => microsoft office [3] => microsoft templates [4] => microsoft updates [5] => microsoft silverlight [6] => microsoft word [7] => microsoft money [8] => microsoft office 2010 [9] => microsoft clip art [10] => microsoft [11] => microsoft security essentials [12] => microsoft office [13] => microsoft templates [14] => microsoft updates [15] => microsoft silverlight [16] => microsoft word [17] => microsoft money [18] => microsoft office 2010 [19] => microsoft clip art [20] => microsoft security essentials [21] => microsoft security essentials review [22] => microsoft security essentials alert [23] => microsoft security essentials update [24] => microsoft security essentials 2.0

 

I'm wanting to know how to make it return results like...

microsoft

microsoft security essential

microsoft office

microsoft templates

etc....

 

 

 

<?php
function text_between($start,$end,$string) {
  if ($start != '') {$temp = explode($start,$string,2);} else {$temp = array('',$string);}
  $temp = explode($end,$temp[1],2);
  return $temp[0];
}
function gsscrape($keyword) {
  $keyword=str_replace(" ","+",$keyword);
  global $kw;
  $data=file_get_contents('http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&q='.$keyword);
  $data=explode('[',$data,3);
  $data=explode('],[',$data[2]);
  foreach($data as $temp) {
  $kw[]= text_between('"','"',$temp);
  }
}
#simple to use, just use yourscriptname.php?keywords
if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']!='') {
  gsscrape($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  foreach ($kw as $keyword) {
  gsscrape($keyword);
  }

#all results are in array $kw...
print_r($kw);
}
?>

foreach

 

I got that far before posting here.  Nothing worked for me though.

[gizmola]

Really?

 

foreach ($kw as $keyword) {
  echo "$keyword 
";
}

[Jeffro]

Really?

 

foreach ($kw as $keyword) {
  echo "$keyword <br/>";
}

 

Yep.. I made that way harder than it needed to be. 

 

And yes, really.  I'm not a programmer.. just trying to pick up little bits and learn to edit my own pages. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Even though the poster before beat me, I added sorting and removed duplicates to this as well.

 

Pretty neat script, you just place a keyword after the scripts name in the url

like:

http://mysite.com/this-script-name.php?games

 

<?php
function text_between($start,$end,$string) {
  if ($start != '') {$temp = explode($start,$string,2);} else {$temp = array('',$string);}
  $temp = explode($end,$temp[1],2);
  return $temp[0];
}
function gsscrape($keyword) {
  $keyword=str_replace(" ","+",$keyword);
  global $kw;
  $data=file_get_contents('http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&q='.$keyword);
  $data=explode('[',$data,3);
  $data=explode('],[',$data[2]);
  foreach($data as $temp) {
  $kw[]= text_between('"','"',$temp);
  }
}
#simple to use, just use yourscriptname.php?keywords

if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']!='') {
  gsscrape($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  foreach ($kw as $keyword) {
  gsscrape($keyword);
  }

//sorted and duplicates removed
sort(array_unique($kw));

#all results echoed with break
foreach ($kw as $keywords) {
echo $keywords. "<br />";
}

}
?>

Nice addition.  Thanks!
