PGID - Php Google Image Downloader

[pbmann]

I am an artist who has used a script called PGID in my work over the past year or so. It is a wonderful script that automatically downloads google images. I use the images to create photomosaics with over 40,000 tiles. The code was original written by Roberto Butti.

 

For the past few months when I attempt to run the script I get the fallowing error:

 

imgurl="+(b.b.indexOf("://")<0?"http://":"")+b.b+" FAILED

 

I assume that something changed in the way google is linking to images, but have been unable to figure it out. I have a basic understanding of PHP, but have not been able to figure out what I need to do to update the code. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!
