    I have a .txt file with some content in it. Now i want to search a particular word from it not a letter.

    Say, PHP has evolved as a powerful open-source programming language and used for building web applications..

    Now i want to search the word programming from the entire text using PHP. How to do it.

<?php
$file_content = file_get_contents("file.txt");

if(preg_match("/programming/",$file_content)){
    echo("Found!");
}else{
    echo("Not Found!");
}
?>
    Code (markup):
