It can be better to use stripos(), that way you haven't have to includ in the file a million different ways to type the same word.

I do personally prefer to use trim(), you never know what another person will do when they fill the file, could be they want to have some kind of indentation.



Good points, this will make the search looser, and probably more accurate :)
