Note: YES - i have tried to search for this bug ! A php-script to replace (change) varnames in other php-scripts. Quite simple - but it only works on smaller files i.e. substr_replace apparently does not work on a string of about 10k. Bug is: nothing is replaced by substr_replace but returned unchanged ! short code ex: $x = file_get_contents($fn); // read source into string $x = strtolower($x); // make lowercase for search $p = strpos($x, $oldvarname); // find varname $x = substr_replace($x, $newvarname, $p, strlen($oldname)); ...save the string to a file with changed varnames as said - it works on smaller files/strings (2k) but not if the file/string is - say - 10k. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26768&edit=1
