I'm trying to search a PHP file for a string and when that string is found I want to return the whole LINE that the string is on. Here is my example code. I'm thinking I would have to use explode but cannot figure that out.
$searchterm = $_GET['q'];
$homepage = file_get_contents('forms.php');
if(strpos($homepage, "$searchterm") !== false)
{
echo "FOUND";
//OUTPUT THE LINE
}else{
echo "NOTFOUND";
}
Just read the whole file as array of lines using file
function.
function getLineWithString($fileName, $str) {
$lines = file($fileName);
foreach ($lines as $lineNumber => $line) {
if (strpos($line, $str) !== false) {
return $line;
}
}
return -1;
}
