getting the search words from a google query

hey,

i am a beginner at php and i need your help.

i have a list of urls visited on a particular day in mysql database.
using php i find out all the websites that have a google search.
now i need to strip apart the google query from the entire url.
i think parse function is used for it but i am not sure how it is used etc.

if possible plz send me a small snippet as an example.

cheers.

Have you looked at the URL strings themselves? You can see that with a
Google query, the search words appear as part of the q=3D part of the
string.

$url =
"http://www.google.com/search?q=php&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&r ls=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'.
