Hi, good one. But i have a suggestion for you. If you are searching into file, you might be interested into line number of the search keyword.
for that i would recommend you to use following command:
$script = “grep -n -r ‘$item’ “.dirname(__FILE__).”/app”;

If you are using this command you might need to remove htmlentities(), to make it proper display. Though not sure on it.

I think, ‘grep’ command is faster then using lots of ‘piped-find’ command. Another advantage of grep is that you can apply pattern(this is where command line power comes in picture) inside, but for that you have to validate patterns in your script. For example, if you want to search either “this” or “url” using grep, you have to pass it as “this\|url”
