1.Read file in array with function File() or you can write your own reading function
2.Check each line with strpost, for that you can use foreach
3. if find word then stop.
This solution is slow, but it depends of file size.

It makes more sense to use file_get_contents() to read the entire contents into a single string

Actually, it makes more sense to do it like this:
1. Read 1 line at a time and check if the string is there,
2. If the string is found - stop, else - go to the next line (if exists) and repeat on #1.
