I am trying to get this script to look at a text file with a list of
numbers a see if the number is there. Every time I run this script it
tells me that it is not there even when I know that it is. Is there a
better way of doing this.
<?php
$webfile = "data1.txt";
$number ="1494211";
if(strlen($number) != 7) {
echo "Sorry, but $number is not a valid number\n";
exit;
}
if (ereg( $number , $webfile)){
exit;
}
else {
echo "This not a valed number $number";
}
?>
