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 :)

Thanks for the tips. I changed to stripos ( case-insensitive) and trim()
