I am working on something that grabs 1 image from bing images.
For some reason file_get_contents did not work so I searched a bit and got the following method - which works great with English keywords:
$fp = fsockopen("www.bing.com", 80, $errn, $errs);
$ar = "عربي";
$out = "GET /images/search?q=$ar HTTP/1.1
";
echo "$out";
echo "<Br><br>";
$out .= "Host: www.bing.com
";
$out .= "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0
";
$out .= "Connection: close
";
$out .= "
";
fwrite($fp, $out);
$response = "";
while ($line = fread($fp, 4096)) {
$response .= $line;
}
fclose($fp);
$response_body = substr($response, strpos($response, "
") + 4);
// or
list($response_headers, $response_body) = explode("
", $response, 2);
So if $ar contains english keyword(s), it works perfect. However, when I try and put in an arabic word - the results are convoluted - and doesn't match the results to bing image search.
Top of my php file I have :
<meta http-equiv='content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'/>
Any help would greatly be appreciated. TIA
