hi

i am writing a small application where a user enters a phrase in the
textfield and i would like to display all the files present in the root
directory which consists of the keyword or keywords entered by the user.

i have used a few comparison functions but i am not getting the expected
result.

$my_file = file_get_contents("filename.html");
what ever the user enters whether it is a single word or few words i would
like to compare with $my_file in a case insensitive manner.

can anyone suggest the best method and how to go about.

thanks.

I don't suggest using file_get_contents. It would probably be more
efficient (at least less memory intensive) to use fopen() and fread().
Just be sure you overlap each read by $the_size_of_the_largest
phrase_or_keyword - 1. Then use stripos() for matching... of course that
won't work so well if whitespace doesn't need to match exactly in
phrases. In which case you'll need to resort to other techniques.

Cheers,
Rob.

I use this script to list archive files from a directory based on
keyword. I'd guess a modified version using the keywords from users
might work:

// create archives box
if ($handle = opendir('../diaryarchives/')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$pos = strpos($file, diary_);
$pagemarked = "diary"."_";
if ($pos !== false) {
//print "$file<br>";
$file_name = ereg_replace ("$pagemarked","",$file);
$file_name = ereg_replace (".php","",$file_name);
//print "* $file_name<br>";
//print "$file<br>";
$archive_list_gather[] = '<li><a href="/diaryarchives/'.
$file.'">'.$file_name.'</a></li>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
rsort($archive_list_gather);
foreach($archive_list_gather as $value) {
$archive_list .= "$value";
}
// build archives box
$archives_box = '<div id="diary-archives">
<h3 class="side"><img src="/images/h3s_diaryarchives.gif"
alt="Diary Archives" width="225" height="20" /></h3>
<ul>
'.$archive_list.'
</ul>
</div>';

// publish archives box
$filename = PATHA.'/diaryarchivesbox.php';
publishpages($archives_box, $filename);
