PHP - Get string based on file

Question

simply in php we could replace a string by other string such as using a particular function, str_replace (), etc

suppose I have a file.txt contains

text1
text2
text3
...
text n

and i have a variable $text such as:

$text = "I want to get text1 and text2";

How to get the strings (text1 and text2) based on the available strings in file.txt?

i want to have a new variable say ($new) which contains strings of $text that it fits on the string file.txt

i appreciate your help greatly.

thank you

[`file()`](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php) reads a file into an array of lines. From there, you just need the first two array elements. — Michael Berkowski, May 19 '13 at 13:17
