You could probably use that however it would be a lot slower than the exec with grep. Also it will depend on how many files you have in the site. I guess you could try it and if you run into the issue of the script taking longer than allowed to execute just up the time with ini_set();

If you have SSH access you could use grep, if not write a php script that will exec() the grep command. This is providing the hosts security allows for exec()

Does anyone know of a function or code I could use to quickly search my site for a document?

I was thinking I could write a php function to open all of the files and search for a specific string.

But, I’m guessing it’s already been done with a better implementation.

Thanks,

Michele
