  1. PHP class to retrieve multiple images from Google using curl multi handler
  2. Google image API using cURL

implement also but it gave 4 random images not more than that. enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here

You could use the PHP Simple HTML DOM library for this:

<?php
    include "simple_html_dom.php";
    $search_query = "ENTER YOUR SEARCH QUERY HERE";
    $search_query = urlencode( $search_query );
    $html = file_get_html( "https://www.google.com/search?q=$search_query&tbm=isch" );
    $image_container = $html->find('div#rcnt', 0);
    $images = $image_container->find('img');
    $image_count = 10; //Enter the amount of images to be shown
    $i = 0;
    foreach($images as $image){
        if($i == $image_count) break;
        $i++;
        // DO with the image whatever you want here (the image element is '$image'):
        echo $image;
    }

This will print a specific number of images (number is set in '$image_count').

i am not very much sure about this ,but still google gives a nice documentation about this. 

 $url = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?" .
   "v=1.0&q=barack%20obama&userip=INSERT-USER-IP";   
// sendRequest
// note how referer is set manually
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, /* Enter the URL of your site here */);
$body = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// now, process the JSON string
$json = json_decode($body);
// now have some fun with the results...

this is from the official Google's developer guide regarding image searching. for more reference you can have a reference of the same here.

 https://developers.google.com/image-search/v1/jsondevguide#json_snippets_php

in $url you must set the search keywords.
