Need Google News script

[jdk]

I have a script that used to gather Google news feeds related to a certain keyword. It does not work anymore and I was wondering if anyone can modify this or has a new working on?

<?php

$keyword = urlencode($keywords);

set_time_limit(0);

$file = "http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-22,GGLG:en&q=$keyword&output=rss";

$rss_channel = array();
$currently_writing = "";
$main = "";
$item_counter = 0;

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
       global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main;
       switch($name) {
           case "RSS":
           case "RDF:RDF":
           case "ITEMS":
               $currently_writing = "";
               break;
           case "CHANNEL":
               $main = "CHANNEL";
               break;
           case "IMAGE":
               $main = "IMAGE";
               $rss_channel["IMAGE"] = array();
               break;
           case "ITEM":
               $main = "ITEMS";
               break;
           default:
               $currently_writing = $name;
               break;
       }
}

function endElement($parser, $name) {
       global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $item_counter;
       $currently_writing = "";
       if ($name == "ITEM") {
           $item_counter++;
       }
}

function characterData($parser, $data) {
    global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main, $item_counter;
    if ($currently_writing != "") {
        switch($main) {
            case "CHANNEL":
                if (isset($rss_channel[$currently_writing])) {
                    $rss_channel[$currently_writing] .= $data;
                } else {
                    $rss_channel[$currently_writing] = $data;

                break;
            case "IMAGE":
                if (isset($rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing])) {
                    $rss_channel[$main][$currently_writing] .= $data;

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
    if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {

Thanks but it appears what I had posts still works. For some reason I didnt think it did.

The following will work as long as you call the page something.php

There are two places to add your keywords - replace CHANGEME with yours. To add more than one word use an + between the words.

Enjoy

or you could try another script like
http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm

but don't forget it's against Google's terms to reformat and publish the output of a google search
