Okay, here's what I have so far:

PHP Code:

$fp = fopen("foo.txt", "w");

// blah blah...

fclose($fp); 

Now, suppose I want to search within the file and look for a certain phrase/word. Would it be something like this?

PHP Code:

if( eregi("phrase", $fp) ) {

// blah blah

} 

Supposing that works, would it be possible to take the "phrase" line and go 1 above or 1 below it? If I'm not making sense/it's not possible, then just hit me and I'll try again.

Yes, it can be done.

-Read the file
-Put into an array
-Count lines of array
-Find line number string is on
-Send file pointer up or down from line number...
