Php File To Check For Text & Run Command

Hi,

I am working on a PHP file and need it to open a URL and if there is a certain word or phrase on the web page then open a second URL. If the text is not there, then I need the first URL to continually open until the text is found.

I would imagine this is pretty simple, something like an IF statement and a loop somewhere. But how do I do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

$link = "www.example.com";
$content = file_get_contents($link);
$needle = "<div>find string</div>";
if (strpos($content, $needle) === false) {
header("Location: my_page.php");
} else {
echo "String found";
}

PHP:

It may help you. Let me know.

 

Thanks for your response. I tried it - and it seems to load the 2nd page OK (my_page.php) but it doesn't seem to be loading it on the condition that it finds the "find string" text first, it just seems to run anyway?

 

ldigital mixed up the conditions a little, use the following:

$link = "www.blahblah.com";
$content = file_get_contents($link);
$needle = "<div>find string</div>";
if (strpos($content, $needle) === false) {
//if it does not find the string, display the following
echo "String found";
} else {
//else it found the string so proceed to the page
header("Location: my_page.php");
}

Good luck!
