Project Name: Simple Mac dictionary widget that gets data from url. (server code & url attached)

=========================

Create a simple Mac dashboard dictionary widget.

Your widget will have a place to enter a word, then send a query to a url, and display the results in a pretty fashion. The server might

return an additional message, which must be display in a side-bar.

Url Format

=========

[url removed, login to view];input=love&EnumClient='WidgetMac'

You will vary the parameter 'input' to reflect whichever word you are looking for.

I've attached the php page that resides above. You may modify the script as appropriate to be compatible with achieving your task.

I need a realistic method of vayring the url (show me how to modify the base url).

The above script interacts with with,

[url removed, login to view];sub=Search+WordNet&o2=&o0=1&o7=&o5=&o1=1&o6=&o4=&o3=&h=0000000000

though it will move to a locally hosted version in the future.

Return Format

============

Modify the script as you see fit. it currently returns this (remember, it will also need to accommodate a custom message):

Searching "love":

[0] => Array

(

[type] => n

[definition] => a strong positive emotion of regard and affection
