I want to CURL to Google to see how many results it returns for a certain search. I've tried this: $url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=".$strSearch."&hl=en&start=0&sa=N"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); But it just returns a 405 Method Allowed google error. Any ideas? Thanks
