Re: global find and replace

Add an append file to the php.ini file, this script will act the default loader before any other php action. parse $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_FILES or whatever you want Parsing the POST_VARS and GET_VARS will mean you will not have to worry about variable names dont use eregi_* use preg. var = preg_replace("/;/i","", $var); jim.
