This is great thanks. I was looking for a simple site serach without showing competing ads. Your script and the Yahoo API works great. I changed line 15 to:

$url = $yhost.'/ysearch/web/v1/site%3Ayoursite.com+'.$thequery.'?appid='.$apikey.'&format=xml';

to enable results for my site only.

Vish,
i hope i understand your question ? BUT you only want to grab the TOTAL amount of returned results from your search? Right?
Man have you ever thought to dig into the returned results in any way?? i have thrashed my way through it & theres a node in the resultset called [totalhits="246994"] & another called [deephits="8170000"] these should be what your looking for bud!

You could grab this value and implement your own pager with pagination methods i would think, Hope it helps.

Cheers

Hell guys,

This is very good script for enable search features on our website. But i m facing a problem about pagination. How it will implemented. Actually i want only total number of results from yahoo. so that i can do the pagination script. My problem is i dont know, how many records in result. Thats why i do not forward to code on pagination. It only mentioned that ‘start’ parameter, for passing values to ‘start’ parameter. I should have to number of records in result set. Please help me on this. So that i can move forward on development.

Kanedogg...I hear your pain, I've been where you are now. I think you might find the Yahoo developers kit most helpful. The kit comes with easy to use and understand examples and templates. You can view the one I produced here, it is different than the example code presented here. Good Luck and understand there are answers, just not always easy to find.

Peoples could someone please give me another example of how i could return the results ?? instead of the simpleXMLElement.
I would like to see if i can get another way working, maybe even a print_r or Return? i’m unsure of php as i dont know it at all. Thanks in advance.
