PHP Search Help

Hi,

I would like to build a little search engine in the admin area, and also define the number of search results and display them($results).
I'm calling data from xml feed and then parse it.
Here is the query:
$url = "http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf?&keyword=$keywords&maxResults=$max";

$keywords would be the search term
$max would be the number of search returns

and the returned results parsed in:
$result .='<div><a href=\"$producturl\">$producttitle</a><br />$productprice</div>';

Thanks in advance

themrrobert, Thank you so much for your help

Here is the whole code i'm using:

<?php
$affid="";
$keywords="nikon";
$max=10;

$url = "http://pf.tradedoubler.com/pf/pf?a=$affid&keyword=$keywords&maxResults=$max";
$SafeQuery = urlencode($url);
$xml = simplexml_load_file($SafeQuery);

foreach ($xml->product as $item) {
$productimage = $xml->imageUrl;
$producturl = $xml->productUrl ;
$producttitle = $xml->name;
$productprice = $xml->price ;

$result .='<div><img src=\"$productimage\"><br /><a href=\"$producturl\">$producttitle</a><br />$productprice</div>';

return $result;

?>
