    copied!<h2>Update Yahoo error</h2> <p>Ok, so I got it all working, but the preg_match_all wont work towards Yahoo. If you take a look at: <a href="http://se.search.yahoo.com/search?p=random&amp;toggle=1&amp;cop=mss&amp;ei=UTF-8&amp;fr=yfp-t" rel="nofollow">http://se.search.yahoo.com/search?p=random&amp;toggle=1&amp;cop=mss&amp;ei=UTF-8&amp;fr=yfp-t</a> then you can see that in their html, they have <code>&lt;span class="url" id="something random"&gt; the actual link &lt;/span&gt;</code> But when I try to preg_match_all, I wont get any result.</p> <pre><code>preg_match_all('#&lt;span class="url" id="(.*)"&gt;(.+?)&lt;/span&gt;#si', $urlContents[2], $yahoo); </code></pre> <p>Anyone got an idea?</p> <h2>End of update</h2> <p>I'm trying to preg_match_all the results i get from Google using a cURL curl_multi_getcontent method.</p> <p>I have succeeded to fetch the site and so, but when I'm trying to get the result of the links, it just takes too much.</p> <p>I'm currently using: <code>preg_match_all('#&lt;cite&gt;(.+)&lt;/cite&gt;#si', $urlContents[0], $links);</code></p> <p>And that starts where it should be, but it doesn't stop, it just keeps going. Check the HTML at <code>www.google.com/search?q=random</code> for example and you will see that all links start with and ends with .</p> <p>Could someone possible help me with how I should retreive this information? I only need the actual link address to each result.</p> <h2>Update Entire PHP Script</h2> <pre><code>public function multiSearch($question) { $sites['google'] = "http://www.google.com/search?q={$question}&amp;gl=sv"; $sites['bing'] = "http://www.bing.com/search?q={$question}"; $sites['yahoo'] = "http://se.search.yahoo.com/search?p={$question}"; $urlHandler = array(); foreach($sites as $site) { $handler = curl_init(); curl_setopt($handler, CURLOPT_URL, $site); curl_setopt($handler, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($handler, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); array_push($urlHandler, $handler); } $multiHandler = curl_multi_init(); foreach($urlHandler as $key =&gt; $url) { curl_multi_add_handle($multiHandler, $url); } $running = null; do { curl_multi_exec($multiHandler, $running); } while($running &gt; 0); $urlContents = array(); foreach($urlHandler as $key =&gt; $url) { $urlContents[$key] = curl_multi_getcontent($url); } foreach($urlHandler as $key =&gt; $url) { curl_multi_remove_handle($multiHandler, $url); } foreach($urlContents as $urlContent) { preg_match_all('/&lt;li class="g"&gt;(.*?)&lt;\/li&gt;/si', $urlContent, $matches); //$this-&gt;view_data['results'][] = "Random"; } preg_match_all('#&lt;div id="search"(.*)&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;#i', $urlContents[0], $match); preg_match_all('#&lt;cite&gt;(.+)&lt;/cite&gt;#si', $urlContents[0], $links); var_dump($links); } </code></pre>
