You can also use more advanced PHP techniques to search for words in webpages, such as:

  • Using regular expressions to search for specific patterns of text.
  • Using a web scraping library to extract data from webpages.
  • Using a search engine API to search for web pages that contain the search term.

Which method you choose will depend on your specific needs.

Important note: Before you scrape a website, you should carefully read their Terms of Service to make sure they are OK with being scraped. Scraping data andndash; even if itand#39;s publicly accessible andndash; can potentially overload a websiteand#39;s servers.
