The problem was with the SQL that counts the row and then checks to see whats out of date and if the table has reached it limit.

I have fixed this issue and updated the base library.

date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘America/Los_Angeles’ for ‘PST/-8.0/no DST’ instead

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

Include the phpYahoo.php file

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

  1. include_once('api/phpYahoo.php');

Instantiate a new phpYahoo class

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

  1. $y = new phpYahoo('YAHOOAPPID');

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

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

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

Call the webSearch function and get the results

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

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

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

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

  1. foreach($results as $result) {
  2. $html .= "<h3><a href='".$result['clickUrl']."' title='".$result['displayUrl']."'>".$result['title']."</a></h3>";
  3. $html .= $result['summary'];
  4. $html .= "<br>";                   
  5. }

Add a FORM to search from

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

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

Display the results

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

  1. <?php echo $html;?>
