Google API Access for PHP
- A PHP class library to access the Google API via SOAP using WSDL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:
---------
This README file describes the Google API Access for PHP class
library.
This class library is designed to make accessing the Google API using
PHP via SOAP, a lot easier. This is a Java-style class library, which
uses getter and setter functions to set parameters for search queries,
and to access individual result components.
HOW TO USE:
-----------
Step 1: Register with Google to receive an authentication key. You can
register online at http://www.google.com/apis/.
Step 2: Get the NuSOAP library (http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap), and
place the file nusoap.php somewhere on the include path, or change the
'require_once' directive in this file to point to the correct location
of the nusoap.php file on your computer.
Step 3: That's it! you can start writing your own code, using this
library, to access the Google API. Please go through the example code
to get started.
