<?php

$s = $_POST["lname"];
$x = file_get_contents("a.txt");
if (strpos($x, $s) !== false)
{
print($s + " is on the list");
}
else
{
print($s + " is not on the list");
}
?>

php is suppose to tell you if a word is on a.text file. the text file has 50 words in it . i did the JavaScript for it but im having trouble with the PHP. the file is just opening and not reading


HTML code

<html>
<head>
<title>Example 30</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/Exercise13.php" method="post">
<label for="fname">Name: </label>
<input type="text" name="lname" id="lname" size="20"><br><br>
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Â*Â*Â*
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value=" Submit "onclick = "check('lname');">
</form>
</body>
</html>
 
<?php
$s = $_POST['lname'];
$x = file_get_contents("a.txt");
if (!strpos($x, $s))
{
print("".$s ." is on the list");
}
else
{
print("".$s. " is not on the list");
}
?>
