Searching for a string inside a webpage…

How would I search for a string that is on a external webpage using like egrep and curl or something. I then need it to perform an If else function…If found echo “found” else echo “not found”…

Thanks

@stephan_gerlachOct 14.2008 — try this one.

[code=php]

$content = strip_tags(file_get_contents($URL));

if (strstr($content,$word)) {
echo 'found';
}
else {
echo 'not found';
}

[/code]
