Hey all.

I'm looking at doing a little project, but before I started wanted to make sure something is possible. Can I have a search box on a page, that searches a completely different site, and have the results displayed on my page?

Appreciate any feedback. Cheers.

Yes, you might want to look into the cURL library for PHP. See the docs.

Make sure you get their written permission to extract their information.

Excellent. That cURL looks looks like it'll do the job perfectly.
