I am creating a simple script which searches through a textfile for the correct combination but it just doesn’t work. I troubleshooted everything but all the parts just worked, but still the whole script isn’t working and I don’t know how to fix it.
code:
<html>
<form>
<input type="text" name="input" placeholder="hash"><button type="submit">Crack!</button>
</form>
<?php
$input = $_GET["input"]; // pulling input from url
$hashes = file_get_contents("hashes.txt"); // loading hashes
$hasharray = explode(";", $hashes); // separating hashcombos
$arraynum = count($hasharray); // counting number of hashcombos
// defining loop
$loopnum = 0;
while($loopnum < $arraynum) {
$combo = $hasharray[$loopnum]; // selecting hashcombo
$comboarray = explode("|", $combo); // separating hashcombo
$text = $comboarray[0];
$hash = $comboarray[1];
// cecking if hash matches
if($hash === $input) {
echo("Hash: $hash");
echo("<br>");
echo("Text: $text");
}
$loopnum = $loopnum + 1; // updating loop
}
?>
</html>
example hashes.txt:
test|example; example|test;

Answer
Your file contains newlines, that are also invisible characters. For example:
test|example;(newline here) example|test;
You split the lines in your file by using the ;, but that does not remove the newline characters. Considering the comments in your question, you have newlines in your results causing your comparisons to fail. That said, I suggest the following solution right after loading the hashes to remove the newline characters:
$hashes = preg_replace("/[rn]/", "", $hashes);
Which will result in a string like:
test|example;example|test;
The rest of your code will work as expected.
