Description: We use a PHP-script for finding positions of sertain search phrases in Google. I need some corrections done to the script because it has some serious flaws.

I have posted about this job here once before, and the winner of the bid gave up on the job.

To be able to do the job I believe we need someone that are very good at regulat expressions and are very familiar with stripping out content from webpages.

I am pretty sure what the problem with the script is, I just don't know enough PHP to be able to do anything about it.

For a seasoned programmer I am pretty sure it can be fixed in a few minutes.

This is what I know about the problem so far:

1. Sometimes the script can't find the url we are looking for - even if it's there.
2. The script reports a different position than what you will find doing a manual count in Google.

The file that needs fixed is attached.
The string used to call the script is:
serp_google.php?searchquery=Test%2Bquery&searchurl=www.domain.com&Language=en&Searchsite=www.google.com&Submit=Search
Additional files submitted:
serp_google.php
