Sorry, I may not have worded that properly...
For this example, the text file will be called example.txt. Also, the value will hereby be named "Apple"
What I am trying to do is take example.txt, open it, then find Apple and display the entire line that value rests on.
example.txt
The fastest land animal is a Cheetah.
The name of a small table is a Desk.
The name of a red fruit is Apple.
The maker of my car is Toyota.
My favorite gun is a Shotgun.

I've tried MANY solutions to this (google is not my friend in this case. How dare you google!) I'll post some of them to show you what I have tried. Keep in mind, I am still a bit new to php. I believe the farthest I got was opening the files and displaying an array....
$file_handle = fopen("dictionary.txt", "rb");
while (!feof($file_handle) ) {
$line_of_text = fgets($file_handle);
$parts = explode('=', $line_of_text);
print $parts[0] . $parts[1]. "<BR>";
}
fclose($file_handle);
This did not work...
Nor did this
$lines = file('file.txt');
$output = '';
$TorZ = "Array
(";
$num = 0;
foreach ($lines as $line)
{
$output .= $TorZ.' '.$line.PHP_EOL;
$TorZ = '['.$num.'] =>';
$num++;
}
file_put_contents('output.txt', $output);
Or this..
$result = array();
$file = explode("\n", file_get_contents("file.txt"));
foreach ( $file as $content ) {
$result[] = array_filter(array_map("trim", explode("\n", $content)));
}
var_dump($result);
Any ideas?
Also, I sincerely apologize if this has been answered in the past, I spent about 2 hours searching for a way to do this, and still cannot find anything.
