I have the following code, my bad if it is not in correct format... still learning. <?php $string = file_get_contents('/path/to/file'); $found = 'found'; if($string == $found){ echo "string match"; } else { echo "string does not match found"; } echo "<br>"; echo "value of string: $string"; echo "<br>"; echo "value of found: $found"; ?> The output of that says: "string does not match found". and the value for $string and $found is the same. If the value of $string and $found are not the same it still says:"string does not match found". Am I missing something or am I going nuts... Please let me know what is wrong with my code.Thanks in advance
