I have added example code to the web search, video search and the image search.

If you look at the code for each example you'll see that they all share a common structure:

Include the phpYahoo.php file

PHP:

include_once('api/phpYahoo.php');

Instantiate a new phpYahoo class

PHP:

$y = new phpYahoo('YAHOOAPPID');

Get the search keyword(s) and create an array of parameters

PHP:

$keyword = $_GET['keyword'];
$params = array("query"=>$keyword,"region"=>"us","type"=>"any","results"=>"20");

Call the webSearch function and get the results

PHP:

$results = $y->searchWeb($params);

Loop through the results and assign it to a variable as HTML

PHP:

foreach($results as $result) {
$html .= "<h3><a href='".$result['clickUrl']."' title='".$result['displayUrl']."'>".$result['title']."</a></h3>";
$html .= $result['summary'];
$html .= "<br>";
}

Add a FORM to search from

HTML:

<form method="get" class="mainsearch" action="websearch.php">
<input name="keyword" id='keyword' class="maintextbox" type="text" value="<?php echo $_GET['keyword']; ?>" />
<input name="search" class="mainsearchbutton" value="Search" type="submit" />
</form>

Display the results

PHP:

<?php echo $html;?>
