How to get images from Google images with PHP

/ Published in: PHP

This simply php function will retrieve the links of the images from Google Images searched with a keyword. The function just calls images.google.it and parse the html to find the url of the images, in this case the urls are stored in the javascript, so the parsing doesnâ€™t use any html tag to find data. It builds an array of urls and return it.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

function getGoogleImg($k) {
	$url = "http://images.google.it/images?as_q=##query##&hl=it&imgtbs=z&btnG=Cerca+con+Google&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgtype=&imgsz=m&imgw=&imgh=&imgar=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images&as_st=y";
	$web_page = file_get_contents( str_replace("##query##",urlencode($k), $url ));
 
	$tieni = stristr($web_page,"dyn.setResults(");
	$tieni = str_replace( "dyn.setResults(","", str_replace(stristr($tieni,");"),"",$tieni) );
	$tieni = str_replace("[]","",$tieni);
	$m = preg_split("/[\[\]]/",$tieni);
	$x = array();
	for($i=0;$i<count($m);$i++) {
		$m[$i] = str_replace("/imgres?imgurl\\x3d","",$m[$i]);
		$m[$i] = str_replace(stristr($m[$i],"\\x26imgrefurl"),"",$m[$i]);
		$m[$i] = preg_replace("/^\"/i","",$m[$i]);
		$m[$i] = preg_replace("/^,/i","",$m[$i]);
		if ($m[$i]!="") array_push($x,$m[$i]);
	}
	return $x;
