PHP script to gather results?

[mulligan]

I'm looking for something that can tell me the total number of results for X number of words.

Basically I need something that I can input a string of words into, one on each line (words will be in many different languages) and will return the total number of results for each word.

I just need the number from the bit at the top of the google results page .. the bit that says 'Results 1 - 10 of about 73,100,000 for "words"'

I just need the number .. 73,100,000
So the output would look like:

words 73,100,000
españa 67,800,000
адресная 1,560,000
大坂山 19,800

(Bearing in mind I will mainly be checking for results in languages like Chinese, Korean, Hindi, Spanish etc)

The number would have to reflect the total number of results within "double quotes" for an accurate reflection of the total.

Just a simple script, something I can run from my browser, maybe a desktop app or run from a server?
Doesn't have to save the results, I can just copy and paste them.

Anybody know of such a thing?

My first question to you is where are the words stored at. in a db? or are you using google to query a word and then get that number like mentioned in your post
