$fp = file("search.php");

$r = 0;

foreach($fp as $v){
$v = ereg_replace("#", " --- ", $v);

if( stristr($v, $search_str) ){
echo "<font size=2 color=#FF0000>Your Forte Query [ $search_str ] was found </font><hr>";
echo "<font size=2>$v</font><br>";
$r++;
}

}

if($r == 0){
print "<br><font size=2 color=#FF0000>no result</font><hr>";
}
}
?>

Supposing i wanted to link the searched entry to the piece of text on the page, how is that accomplished?

For example...i searched 'cow' and it gave me the listings for 'cow' could i click on cow, and it take me to the section of text about the cow?

Cheers
