helraizer Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm sure something like this will work: html form: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="author" content="Samuel Boulton"> <title>Untitled 3</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="google.php"> <label for="search">Enter your search criteria</label> <input type="text" name=search id=search> <input type=submit name=submit value="Google Search!!"> </form> </body> </html> google.php <?php $user_data = $_POST['search']; $response = file_get_contents("http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=".$user_data."&btnG=Google+Search&meta="); echo $response; ?> Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
