I am trying to implement the yahoo search api using php.
I prefer to use PHP serialized to get the result of the search
displayed.
Right now i get the output like:
Array
(
[ResultSet] => Array
(
[type] => web
[totalResultsAvailable] => 20800000
[totalResultsReturned] => 20
[firstResultPosition] => 1
[moreSearch] =>
/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?query=bangalore&appid=Jahangir®ion=us
[Result] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Title] => Explocity.com Bangalore. The
city as it happens
[Summary] => Offers an event schedule,
places to see, shopping, dining, and other information about Bangalore.
=>
[url]http://www.exploc...m/bangalore.asp
[ClickUrl] =>
http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/ _ylt=A0Je5...m/bangalore.asp
[DisplayUrl] =>
www.explocity.com/bangalore.asp
[ModificationDate] => 1166860800
[MimeType] => text/html
[Cache] => Array
(

[url]http://uk.wrs.yah...esults=20%26u=w
ww.explocity.com/bangalore.asp%26w=bangalore%26d=B-hzWEVuOAIw%26icp=1%26.intl=us
[Size] => 28482
)

)

[1] => Array
(
[Title] => Bangalore
[Summary] => Tourist guide around the city
of Bangalore including historical background, weather, dining,
entertainment, and accommodations.
=> [url]http://www.discoverbangalore.com/
[ClickUrl] =>
http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/ _ylt=A0Je5...rbangalore.com/
[DisplayUrl] => www.discoverbangalore.com/
[ModificationDate] => 1166860800
[MimeType] => text/html
[Cache] => Array

[url]http://uk.wrs.yah...esults=20%26u=w
ww.discoverbangalore.com/ %26w=bangalore%26d=BCcdDEVuN_8b%26icp=1%
26.intl=us
[Size] => 25882
)

I am trying to format this using 2 foreach loop. One for Array second
for ResultSet and Third for individual Result.
Example of what im trying:
foreach($display as $disp)
{
$output['title']=$disp;
echo "$output";
foreach($disp as $disp2)
{
$newobj=$disp2;
echo "<br>$newobj";
foreach($disp2 as $key=>$value)
{
//$newobj2=$value; // displays [moresearch]
$newobj3=$value[2];
echo "<br>$newobj3";
}}}
But i am having a hard time getting the output that i want.

Can someone help me format the output got from unserialize() in the
same way as yahoo displays its result on its main page.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use the script below to do this. Pass the serialized data to
the method printResults:

--- Begin Text ---

<?

class YahooResultsView
{
function printResults($rawResponse)
{
$response = unserialize($rawResponse);

$startHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
$response['ResultSet']['firstResultPosit
ion']);
echo "<ol start=\"$startHtml\">";

foreach ($response['ResultSet']['Result'] as $result) {
$clickUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode($result['ClickUrl']);
$titleHtml = $this->htmlEncode($result['Title']);
$summaryHtml = $this->htmlEncode($result['Summary']);
$displayUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
rtrim($result['DisplayUrl'], '/'));
$sizeHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
$this-> formatMemorySize($result['Cache']['Size'
]));
$cacheUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode($result['Cache']['Url']);

echo <<<end
<li><div><a class=title href="$clickUrlHtml">$titleHtml</a>
</div>
<div class=summary>$summaryHtml</div>
<span class=url>$displayUrlHtml</span> -
<span class=size>$sizeHtml</span> -
<a class=cache href="$cacheUrlHtml">Cached</a>
end;
}

echo '</ol>';
}

// Convert bytes to the best unit of measurement

function formatMemorySize($bytes)
{
if ($bytes < 0x3E8) {
return $bytes . 'b'; // bytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0xF4240) {
return round($bytes / 0x3E8) . 'k'; // kilobytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0x3B9ACA00) {
return round($bytes / 0xF4240) . 'M'; // megabytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0x3B9ACA00 * 0x3E8) {
return round($bytes / 0x3B9ACA00) . 'G'; // gigabytes
}
return round($bytes / 0x3B9ACA00 * 0x3E8) . 'T'; // terabytes
}

function htmlEncode($str)
{
return htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
}
}

?>

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {font: 83%/1.2em arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;}
#results {width: 600px;}
#results a {color: #0000de;}
#results a:visited {color: #639}
#results a:active {color: #f00;}
#results li {margin: 0 0 17px 21px;}
#results .title {font-size: 120%;}
#results .summary {color: #000;}
#results .url {color: #008000;}
#results .size {color: #8284cc;}
#results .cache {color: #8284cc;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id=results>

<?

$view = new YahooResultsView;
$view-> printResults(file_get_contents('response
.txt'));

?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

--- End Text ---
