fgets find string help please

Hi all I would like to find a string say “hello” from the result of my fsockopen result. I have searched all over for an answer but to no avail so I hand it over to you clever people here. The kind of result I want is if string excists the $result = 0 else $result = 1 I can carry on from there…. while(!feof($socket)) { echo fgets($socket,128); } fclose($socket); $socket is working and echoing a result.
