Update esearch and efetch URLs to https

[MarkBlankestijn]

Due to upcoming move to https-only by the NCBI, the esearch and efetch URLs require updating to https.

Mark,

I made the changes to lines 42 and 43 but I am now throwing a new error at line 66: $this->count = (int)$xml->Count.

Is there another change needed to ensure that HTTPS query is being sent?

Thanks

I have no other issues with the script. What is the exact error?

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in

I'm assuming that means that it is not receiving properly formed XML. Obviously it's strange since we are both running identical code. The formed search string works normally in a browser. Which database are you accessing? Could that be the difference? I am hitting 'pubmed' specifically and only doing author queries.

It could be due to the script wrapping your query in quotes by default, thereby returning 0 results. Have you set exact_match to false?

For example:

$search_term = 'Someone[au]';
$PubMedAPI = new PubMedAPI();
$PubMedAPI->exact_match = false;
$results = $PubMedAPI->query($search_term);

I have public $exact_match = false
In the settings in the PubMedAPI file.

@budflanksteak By default author search by someone[au]. Then how to search by title and year?
