Get Google Search Images using php

Question

Search on Google images with car keyword & get car images.

I found two links to implement like this,

1. PHP class to retrieve multiple images from Google using curl multi handler
2. Google image API using cURL

implement also but it gave 4 random images not more than that.

Question: How to get car images in PHP using keyword i want to implement like we search on Google?

Any suggestion will be appreciated!!!

You could use the PHP Simple HTML DOM library for this:

<?php
    include "simple_html_dom.php";
    $search_query = "ENTER YOUR SEARCH QUERY HERE";
    $search_query = urlencode( $search_query );
    $html = file_get_html( "https://www.google.com/search?q=$search_query&tbm=isch" );
    $image_container = $html->find('div#rcnt', 0);
    $images = $image_container->find('img');
    $image_count = 10; //Enter the amount of images to be shown
    $i = 0;
    foreach($images as $image){
        if($i == $image_count) break;
        $i++;
        // DO with the image whatever you want here (the image element is '$image'):
        echo $image;
    }

This will print a specific number of images (number is set in '$image_count').
