I have some list of image url on my system and i want to use each image url to search for similar images using PHP on Bing but there seems to be no example of PHP use case in the docs. I can only see JavaScript implementations through uploading image.

I don't want to use JavaScript because everything is to run from the server side without client interactions.

I can also see the PHP text search implementations here https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/bing-image-search/quickstarts/php but this is using text to search for images.

What am looking for is to use image url to search for similar images on the api.

Please if help me... with the PHP implementations. Thanks.

    @Adeyeye George The doc link mentioned seems to point to the bing image search API which uses text in the query string to get the results. Bing visual search along with other bing search API's migrated to bing from cognitive services and the appropriate doc link for all services is the following.

    I am not an expert on PHP but the following SO thread could help to perform a PHP visual search operation. I hope this helps.
