While i do not recommend this, as it does not scale well at all, and you would be better off inputting the information to mysql and search using the FULLTEXT boolean/LIKE search tools over this method.. It IS possible however:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if($_REQUEST['search'])
{
  $sql=mysql_query("select * from myfile");
  while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
  {

    $file_handle = fopen("$row[path]", "r");
    $contents = fread($file_handle, filesize($row[path]));
    fclose($file_handle);
    $iPos = stripos($contents, $_REQUEST['search']);

    if ($iPos !== false) 
      print $row[path]; //Output filename.txt if search is found.
  }  
}
?>
<form>
<input type=text name=search><input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>

note, this is a HORRIBLE way of doing this and i would definitely recommend you look at some generalised PHP tutorials before going further. Spend some time learning the fundamentals and it really does help :)
