or:
  $file = file_get_contents('test.php');
  echo substr_count($file, '<ul>');


or, start Googling for:
"I want a php script to tell me how many occurences of a string there
are in a file"
but leave out the unimportant parts of the question like:
" I want"  and "to tell me"

so, Google for:
"php script  how many occurences of a string there are in a file"
the first occurance is the RTFM of the *substr_count* function.
