I am trying to implement the yahoo search api using php.
I prefer to use PHP serialized to get the result of the search
displayed.
Right now i get the output like:
Array
(
[ResultSet] => Array
(
[type] => web
[totalResultsAvailable] => 20800000
[totalResultsReturned] => 20
[firstResultPosition] => 1
[moreSearch] =>
/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?query=bangalore&appid=Jahangir&region=us
[Result] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Title] => Explocity.com Bangalore. The
city as it happens

places to see, shopping, dining, and other information about Bangalore.

I am trying to format this using 2 foreach loop. One for Array second
for ResultSet and Third for individual Result.
Example of what im trying:
foreach($display as $disp)
{
$output['title']=$disp;
echo "$output";
foreach($disp as $disp2)
{
$newobj=$disp2;
echo "<br>$newobj";
foreach($disp2 as $key=>$value)
{
//$newobj2=$value; // displays [moresearch]
$newobj3=$value[2];
echo "<br>$newobj3";
}}}
But i am having a hard time getting the output that i want.

Can someone help me format the output got from unserialize() in the
same way as yahoo displays its result on its main page.

thanks in advance
