Objective:
- Creating a simple PHP Widget, which will allow the user to reach the result page of Google! from your site.
Requirement:
- Adobe Dreamweaver or any Open Source Editor like Aptana Studio, Amaya, etc.
Creating the form(index.htm):
<form action=“google.php” method=“get” name=“query_form”>
<input id=“search” onclick=‘value=”” ‘ name=“search” type=“text” value=“Enter the search term” />
<input id=“submit” name=“submit” type=“submit” value=“Submit” />
</form>
PHP Script(google.php):
?php
$url=”http://www.google.com/search?q=”.$_REQUEST[‘search’];//Adding the user query with the URL
header(“Location:$url”);
?>
<?PHP
$url=“http://www.google.com/search?q=”.$_REQUEST[‘search’];
header(“Location:$url”);
?>

Even you can create more Widgets just by changing the URLs. I’m mentioning few search URLs:
- Yahoo Search : http://search.yahoo.com/search?q=
- Live Search : http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=
- Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=
