 * Hi, i’m trying to insert wp post title into the following php code:
 *     ```
       // What to look for
       $search = 'insert the wordpress post title here';
       // Read from file
       $lines = file('links.txt');
       foreach($lines as $line)
       {
         // Check if the line contains the string we're looking for, and print if it does
         if(strpos($line, $search) !== false)
           echo $line;
       }
       ```
   
 * and this code searches are case sensitive, how can i make it non-case sensitive?
   
   Thanks in advance.

 * Hi, thank you for your reply Steven. I’ve already tried to put `<?php the_title();?
   >` here: `$search = '<?php the_title(); ?>';` but it doesn’t work. I’m a newbee
   so could you show me where to put that code please? Thank you.

 * “the_title()” echoes the post title. You need “get_the_title()” as that returns
   a string.

 *     ```
       // What to look for
       $search = get_the_title();  // you may need to add parameters to the functionall.
       // Read from file
       $lines = file('links.txt');
       foreach($lines as $line)
       {
         // Check if the line contains the string we're looking for, and print if it does
         if(stripos($line, $search) !== false)
           echo $line;
       }
       ```
