I am looking how to do a grep in php. I have a variable(1) with very much
random data.
I want only to get lines that have certain words in it. As far as I can
see preg_grep does not work, as the data isn't an array.
I could use (exec grep ...), but I rather not.
I am looking for something that does:
$result = grep("word_I_look_for",$result);
(1)If it is easier, I can use a file instead of a variable.

read the file contents into an array:
