hi,

I am trying to write a script which can do the following. I do not have any idea of how to write it ..but have the idea of how it should/will work.

I have a list of words in an mysql db(almost 1000 words). I need to take each word and then put in the search query of any search engine(for example ask.com) and store the result that appears under "related words"/"suggested words"/"narrow your search words" in a file.

Example:
If you search for the word "forum" in ask.com, we can see the url as
forum - Ask.com Web Search

and the search result page contains "Narrow Your Search"

Roman Forum
Free Forum
..
...
etc.

So I need to write a script that can take word by word from my mysql db and put it in the url (as below) and then store only the "result under "Narrow your search result" in a file.
Ask.com Search Engine - Better Web Searchnextword&search=search&qsrc=0&o=0&l=dir

Please let me know if its something possible and if I can have look at any examples..I would need to complete this as soon as possible.

I can explain it in a more better way if the above explanation is not clear.

Regards

Some basic knowledge of PHP and SQL is enough to tackle this in a couple of hours. Load a word from your table with sql (information on how to do this everywhere on the web), then include it in the url ("http://www.ask.com/q=$yourword&blabla"), and e.g. use curl to load the contents of the url. Information on this is e.g. in PHP tip: How to get a web page using CURL | Nadeau Software. Then just search in the contents for the "narrow your search" header and extract the terms you need.
