How to write a PHP script to find the number of indexed pages in Google?

php

Solution

I think it would be nicer to Google to use their RESTful Search API. See this URL for an example call:

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=site:stackoverflow.com&filter=0

(You're interested in the `estimatedResultCount` value)

In PHP you can use `file_get_contents` to get the data and `json_decode` to parse it.

You can find documentation here:

http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/#fonje

Example

Warning: The following code does not have any kind of error checking on the response!

function getGoogleCount($domain) {
    $content = file_get_contents('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/' .
        'search/web?v=1.0&filter=0&q=site:' . urlencode($domain));
    $data = json_decode($content);
    return intval($data->responseData->cursor->estimatedResultCount);
}

echo getGoogleCount('stackoverflow.com');

Problem

I need to find the number of indexed pages in google for a specific domain name, how do we do that through a PHP script? So, ``` foreach ($allresponseresults as $responseresult) { $result[] = array( 'url' => $responseresult['url'], 'title' => $responseresult['title'], 'abstract' => $responseresult['content'], ); } ``` what do i add for the estimated number of results and how do i do that? i know it is (estimatedResultCount) but how do i add that? and i call the title for example this way: $result['title'] so how to get the number and how to print the number? Thank you :)
