We need a script that is developed as follows.

The user enters a search query like

government grants

The script would then use a search facility that exists on another website to do the exact same server, and get the html results and reformat them and make some minor changes to them (add a different link, etc) before displaying them on screen for the user.

Note that all images, etc retrieved that need to be displayed onscreen need to be stored locally. i.e. You do not just display the image from the website you did the search from, you need to display a copy of the image that is on our server (this program will automatically download them, etc).

As far as the remote website is concerned this should just be another "user" accessing the data.

The interface returned to the user will be similar to the one on the remote site, with a few changes (nothing major). The same information will be presented but in a different layout (that you choose).

Your script will have a url to connect to, to retrieve a proxy list, and if 10 minutes or more has expired since the last request for data, the proxy list should be retrieved, and a random proxy chosen, and then data then retrieved via that proxy.

Error checking/recovery needs to be build in to timeout fairly quickly, and then access another proxy, etc until the data is returned. If all proxies fail, you would retrieve the proxy list again.

The proxy list should NOT be retrieved for every request, only as the rules above.

This is quick a straight forward project for someone who knows php well.

## Deliverables

The process is as follows.

1. The user enters a search phrase on a php page you develop.

2. You then access the remote website via a proxy and perform a query with exactly what the user searched for.

3. You return the html generated and parse it extracting the appropriate information again and display it in a different format for the user. You will make minor changes to the code first (changing a few links, etc).

Note: Again no image (or other) access should be used from the remote website when showing the user the results of the query.

e.g. The results returned should be saved, much like a "Save As" works on a page from a browser. e.g. all images, style sheets, etc are saved locally.
