You may want to use the file() function which treats each line of a
file as an array.
$lines = file('/path/to/file');
Then find which line numbers contain the word:
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
if (/*Your regex here run on $line*/) {
$match[] = $line_num;
}
}
//Then display the lines
foreach ($match as $which) {
echo "a href=\"#$which\">".$lines[$match]."\<a>\";
}

To add a link, you will have to rewrite the line in the source file.
(Leaving out a lot of code here)

#first read file then do replace
str_replace ($line, "<a name\"$line_num\">$line</a>", $file);
// and then display the file
echo $file;
