php quick question
 

anybody know why fopen() function is not working if i try to access a search results page from google?
for example fopen("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=aaa+bbb&btnG=Search") is returning this error message:

Warning: fopen(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...bb&btnG=Search): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden in

urlencode it first

or one of the similar functions

Try to Q and A section of GFY.

wtf.. the urlencode() is returning this url http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fhl%3Den%26l r%3D%26safe%3Doff%26q%3Daaa%2Bbbb%26btnG%3DSearch

:mad:

And?

Just use Curl what's the problem
