Search for a string

[scrupul0us]

i need help filling in the blank

<?php

$search ="Find this string - NOW";

$url = "http://www.domainimusing.com";

$string = file_get_contents($url);

//help here
//use a regex or string function to find the $search term within $string
//if found return $result to be true

if ($result)
{
echo "String was found!";
}
else
{
echo "String not found!";
}

?>

i HONESTLY need a good lesson in writing and understanding regex's... can anyone recommend a good tutorial site or something with a progressive learning curve for using and writing regex's???

You can try the stristr function. If that don't suit your need you will problably find something in string functions.

not sure if this is the most efficient way but:

<?php

$search ="Find This - Now";

$url = "http://blahblahblah.com/";

$string = file_get_contents($url);

if (eregi($search, $string))
{
echo "String Was Found!";
}
else
{
echo "String Not Found!";
}

?>

...works...
