<?php $url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=php&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a";; $url_parts = parse_url($url); print_r($url_parts); parse_str($url_parts['query'], $query_vars); print_r($query_vars); ?> Array ( [scheme] => http [host] => www.google.com [path] => /search [query] => q=php&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a ) Array ( [q] => php [ie] => utf-8 [oe] => utf-8 [aq] => t [rls] => com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial [client] => firefox-a ) Normally for Google the 'q' var is the search term, in this case 'php'. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
