Why won't this php file work correctly ?

<?php

 

$s = $_POST["lname"];

$x = file_get_contents("a.txt");

if (strpos($x, $s) !== false)

{

print($s + " is on the list");

}

else

{

print($s + " is not on the list");

}

?>

 

php is suppose to tell you if a word is on a.text file. the text file has 50 words in it . i did the JavaScript for it but im having trouble with the PHP. the file is just opening and not reading :-[

try this..

 

<?php
  $file = file('a.txt');
  if (in_array($_POST['lname'],$file)) {
    echo "in file";
  } else {
    echo "Not in file";
  }
?>
