title: Using PHP to get number of google search results for strings?
body: <p>I want to run a PHP script that takes a list of strings, google searches them, and then returns to me (so I can insert into a database, write to a file, whatever) the number of search results. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use a Google API to do this programatically from PHP? Any other methods?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any pointers. </p>
