Operating On Google News How to getuse Google news headlines

[Pavarr 0]

First of all, we have to store our Google news in variable:

$googlenews = file("http://news.google.com/news/en/us/world.html");

Then, we get ourselves a table, containing news' link with title, popularity on Google News, how old is the news, and where it has been found by Google:

$popularity = 0; // table indexfor($i = 46; $i < count($googlenews); $i++){ // real news start at line 46$all = explode("<font size=",$googlenews[$i]); // it makes it easier to retrieve headersfor($j = 0; $j < count($all); $j++){$act = $all[$j]; // actual current chunk// a bit of cleaning up$act = str_replace("</tr>","",$act);$act = str_replace("</td>","",$act);$act = str_replace("</table>","",$act);$act = str_replace("</b>","",$act);$act = str_replace("</font>","",$act);$act = str_replace("<nobr>","",$act);$act = str_replace(" ","",$act);$act = str_replace("<br>","",$act);// enough cleaningif(stristr($act, "-1>") && stristr($act, "<font color=#6f6f6f>")){ // checking for markers of _real_ news	$where_time = str_replace("-1><font color=#6f6f6f><b>","",$act); // getting where and time as one string	$gdzie_czas = str_replace("</nobr>","",$gdzie_czas); // another cleaning routine	$where_time_arr = explode("- ",$where_time); // dividing to time and source	$popularity++; // getting current table index                $where = $where_time_arr[0];        $time = $where_time_arr[1];        // we know now where news was found, let's get news title & link	$news = explode('<td valign=top>',$all[$j-1]);  // right things be right :)        $true_news = $news[1];	$news_array[$jak_dawno] = $where.'|'.$time.'|'.$true_news; // table input}}}

Now, that we have got the array with pure information, we can do virtually everything with it, for example:

foreach($news_array as $value){       $values_arr = explode("|",$value);       $where = $values_arr[0];       $time = $values_arr[1];       $news = $values_arr[2];       echo "$news - found in $where $time<br/>";}

We can also search it for keywords, or do with it something like that.

I have to add, I haven't yet developed a simple and always-working way to exclude the link from the news title - sometimes there is unknown bug and there are residual chars form link :/ But even without it, it's fully functional.
