Get if a special text is in a file

How?

What are you even trying to say? Please be more specific. And titles don't describe everything. Get that fact down.

look at http://html.net/tutorials/php/lesson15.php on Example 1

maybe:

file_get_contents()

stristr() || strstr()

OR

explode(' ', file_get_contents());

in_array()


If you need more help, be more specific.anyway, google can help you

I want to check if a text file, I open with fopen (no, I wont use config), contains a special string how am I doing that?

Sounds good, can you please show me an example about stristr or strstr?

pls , i'm busy, do you know that google exists ?

What about this? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=php stristr http://lmgtfy.com/?q=php strstr Do you have eyes?

-.-'

spam?

How about not being lazy and look through it?

How about realizing that we do a big discussion about one simple code?

How about stop spamming.

Ingredients: file_get_contents (copies contents of a file into a string), strpos (checks if a substring exists in a string, and finds its position if exists)

Steps:
1. Read the file into a string using file_get_contents().
2. Check if the "special text" you want to search for exists in the string by using strpos() !== false

With code:

PHP:

$hasString = strpos(file_get_contents($file), $specialText) !== false;


Is that so hard? This is what programming is about. Why make it so absurdly complicated?

Thanks.
