[PHP] Searching arrayed file... Suggestions?
Greetings.
I have made a try to write a search engine for a site I run. This search
iterates through all links which are made up like so:
"|BY|EMAIL|CATEGORY|FOLDER/BAND|LINKNAME|LINKURL|". Now, I use the code:
if ($txtLinkname=="") return;
$logfile="entries.txt";
$file_line = file($logfile);
$total_lines = count($file_line);
// Start printing the header of the table. The rest is completed, nested
// course.. in the incrementation-loop.
echo"table width=60% cellpadding=0 border=0 cellspacing=0
align=center";
echo"trtd width=100% valign=top align=left";
for($i=($total_lines-1); 0 = $i; $i--) { $line[] = $file_line[$i]; }
echo "pbSearching for links containing $txtLinkname...br";
echo "hr noshade";
echo "/b";
for ($i=0; $i $total_lines; $i++){
$line_array = explode("|",$line[$i]);
$swhere=strtolower($line_array[5]);
$swhat=strtolower($txtLinkname);
$pos = strpos ($swhere, $swhat);
if ($pos0) {
// not found
}else if (($pos1) (!empty($pos))) {
$found++;
echo"bName:/b $line_array[1]br\n";
echo"bEmail:/b a
href=\"mailto:$line_array[2]\"$line_array[2]/abr\n";
echo"bCategory:/b $line_array[3]br\n";
echo"bBand/Folder:/b $line_array[4]br\n";
echo"bLink Name:/b $line_array[5]br\n";
echo"bLink URL:/b a href=\"$line_array[6]\"
target=\"_blank\"$line_array[6]/abr\n";
echo "hr noshade";
}
}
echo "h3";
if ($found==0) {
echo "No links found containing '$txtLinkname'!br";
}else{
echo "brFound: $found links containing $txtLinknamebr";
}
echo "/h3h4";
echo "[ a href=\"post3.htm\"POST LINK/a | a
href=\"index.php?action=view\"VIEW LINKS/a ]";
$found=0;
echo "/h4";
?
And that is all the code I use. Where have I done wrong? You see, the
problem is that I found only some links, but not all. And if I have a link
called "Necrolust - Tribute to MayheM", it cannot find the "Necro" nor
"necRO". And as you can see, I HAVE used uppercase methods to find portions
and so forth. Any help is suggested!!

Any help is suggested!! Seriously consider using MySQL or PosgreSQL, or some other form of DBMS. They will make your life so much easier.
