it's giving me errors
Warning: file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be string

PHP Code:

    $filename = "../../testfile.txt"; //above the root
        $newfile = fopen($filename, "r");
            if(stripos(file_get_contents($newfile), $email) !== false)
            {
                $content = "Our records show that this email address is already registered";
                fclose($newfile);
                die("$front\n$content\n$back");
            } 


nevermind fixed it

But as filburt1 already said, you should user stripos() if available to avoing casing issues.

oops but realised that and fixed it, i have no idea why they do "haystack, needle" when the saying is clearly "needle, haystack" grrr @ then, but thanks kirby
