<?php

require_once "Careerjet_API.php" ;

$api = new Careerjet_API('en_GB') ;
$page = 1 ; # Or from parameters.

$result = $api->search(array(
  'keywords' => 'php developer',
  'location' => 'London',
  'page' => $page ,
  'affid' => '678bdee048',
));

if ( $result->type == 'JOBS' ){
  echo "Found ".$result->hits." jobs" ;
  echo " on ".$result->pages." pages\n" ;
  $jobs = $result->jobs ;
  
  foreach( $jobs as $job ){
    echo " URL:     ".$job->url."\n" ;
    echo " TITLE:   ".$job->title."\n" ;

  # Basic paging code
  if( $page > 1 ){
    echo "Use \$page - 1 to link to previous page\n";
  }
  echo "You are on page $page\n" ;
  if ( $page < $result->pages ){
    echo "Use \$page + 1 to link to next page\n" ;

if ( $result->type == 'LOCATIONS' ){
  $locations = $result->solveLocations ;
  foreach ( $locations as $loc ){
    echo $loc->name."\n" ; # For end user display
