Okay so at the moment I'm using,
Preg_grep("/$query/", $file);
which basically takes the text sent via postmethod & checks whether it is in $file, but I could simply type " a " and it would output every match, i want it to be more specific.
So for example if I enter " Customer123 " which is in $file it will/should output " Customer123 " however if I type " Customer " then that shouldn't be enough to output customer123 so therefore return " Not found "..
You can use \\b
before and after the expression to match it as a whole word
preg_grep("/\b$query\b/", $file);
Output:- https://eval.in/926867
To check for blank:-
if(trim($query) == ''){
var_dump(preg_grep("/(^\$query*$)/", $file));
}else{
var_dump(preg_grep("/\b$query\b/", $file));
}
Output:- https://eval.in/926939
