Hi all,
after a fair amount of hacking about, I worked out how to get the results of a phpdig search out of phpdig and into php and html code of my own design. This is not elegant and the programming is untidy. But perhaps a more skilled practitioner can use this code as a starting point for better things.
The version it works with is 1.8.7
I actually use the code by including it in an iframe and passing the sole parameter, query_text as part of the src= url.
I hope someone finds this useful
