try this:

<?php
$data = file_get_contents("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/find?v=1.0&q=".$_GET["query"]);
$object = json_decode($data);

if(count($object->responseData->entries)>0){
    foreach($object->responseData->entries as $entry){
        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($entry);
        echo '</pre>';
    }
}else{
    echo 'no data';
}
?>
