    Hi, Can anyone help me about this problem?
    

I have this file (ex. file.txt) which contains 
yahoo.com
google.com
msn.com
alexa.com

I want to search the file using php and output the search with its position.

For example, I want to search the file for msn.com 
and then the script will output 

"Your search for msn.com is found on position number 3"
    Code (markup):
    How can I make this work on PHP?

    Thanks in advance,

    Highborn

    Grab the data using file(), trim it, and use array_search to find the position.
