I would like to use PHP to do something like a recursive unix 'grep' for an e-mail address ($email) and have it search through multiple directories and files looking for duplicates.
Is this possible through PHP? -- M
Yes, just use the directory functions.
There are also recursive versions of grep (rgrep) floating around out there and other utilities (such as 'find' ) avaiable out there on unix boxes which you can use to create the same effect.
