a more OO approach might be to use the Snoopy PHP class
(http://snoopy.sourceforge.net)
This will allow you to do GET/POST method requests on
URLS with query variables, ie:
POST
$snoopy = new Snoopy;
$submit_vars["q"] = [ form variables ];
$submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search";;
$snoopy->submit($submit_url,$submit_vars);
$result = $snoopy->results;
GET
$snoopy = new Snoopy;
$submit_url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=";.[ form variables ];
$snoopy->fetch($submit_url);
$result = $snoopy->results;
Then simply parse through $result;
