 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.

Look for the "User Contributed Notes" at the end.

do search for "auto suggest" in search..

This can get complicated quickly. If they enter one word, you can
easily search each file for that word. If they enter two words, what if
those words appear, but not together?

Either way, you will need to open each file, read it into memory and
search it. You can do it in your PHP program, but you might find it
faster to execute grep and let the system do it.
