Customizing unserialize output.

[thecoolone]

I am trying to implement the yahoo search api using php.
I prefer to use PHP serialized to get the result of the search
displayed.
Right now i get the output like:
Array
(
[ResultSet] =Array
(
[type] =web
[totalResultsAva ilable] =20800000
[totalResultsRet urned] =20
[firstResultPosi tion] =1
[moreSearch] =>
/WebSearchServic e/V1/webSearch?query =bangalore&appi d=Jahangir&regi on=us
[Result] =Array
(
[0] =Array
(

I am trying to format this using 2 foreach loop. One for Array second
for ResultSet and Third for individual Result.
Example of what im trying:
foreach($displa y as $disp)
{
$output['title']=$disp;
echo "$output";
foreach($disp as $disp2)
{
$newobj=$disp2;
echo "<br>$newob j";
foreach($disp2 as $key=>$value)
{
//$newobj2=$value ; // displays [moresearch]
$newobj3=$value[2];
echo "<br>$newob j3";
}}}
But i am having a hard time getting the output that i want.

Can someone help me format the output got from unserialize() in the
same way as yahoo displays its result on its main page.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use the script below to do this. Pass the serialized data to
the method printResults:

--- Begin Text ---

<?

class YahooResultsVie w
{
function printResults($r awResponse)
{
$response = unserialize($ra wResponse);

$startHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
$response['ResultSet']['firstResultPos ition']);
echo "<ol start=\"$startH tml\">";

foreach ($response['ResultSet']['Result'] as $result) {
$clickUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode($re sult['ClickUrl']);
$titleHtml = $this->htmlEncode($re sult['Title']);
$summaryHtml = $this->htmlEncode($re sult['Summary']);
$displayUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
rtrim($result['DisplayUrl'], '/'));
$sizeHtml = $this->htmlEncode(
$this->formatMemorySi ze($result['Cache']['Size']));
$cacheUrlHtml = $this->htmlEncode($re sult['Cache']['Url']);

echo <<<end
<li><div><a class=title href="$clickUrl Html">$titleHtm l</a>
</div>
<div class=summary>$ summaryHtml</div>
<span class=url>$disp layUrlHtml</span-
<span class=size>$siz eHtml</span-
<a class=cache href="$cacheUrl Html">Cached</a>
end;
}

echo '</ol>';
}

// Convert bytes to the best unit of measurement

function formatMemorySiz e($bytes)
{
if ($bytes < 0x3E8) {
return $bytes . 'b'; // bytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0xF4240) {
return round($bytes / 0x3E8) . 'k'; // kilobytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0x3B9ACA00) {
return round($bytes / 0xF4240) . 'M'; // megabytes
} elseif ($bytes < 0x3B9ACA00 * 0x3E8) {
return round($bytes / 0x3B9ACA00) . 'G'; // gigabytes
}
return round($bytes / 0x3B9ACA00 * 0x3E8) . 'T'; // terabytes
}

function htmlEncode($str )
{
return htmlentities($s tr, ENT_QUOTES);
}
}

?>

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {font: 83%/1.2em arial,helvetica ,clean,sans-serif;}
#results {width: 600px;}
#results a {color: #0000de;}
#results a:visited {color: #639}
#results a:active {color: #f00;}
#results li {margin: 0 0 17px 21px;}

$view = new YahooResultsVie w;
$view->printResults(f ile_get_content s('response.txt '));

?>
