RE: [PHP] replacing everything between 2 strings

look into opendir and readdir with opendir you can open a handle to a directory and use readdir in a loop to look at every file (fopen or whatever to load each file) then parse your files. readdir may help you verify the files you are working on at least have the right extension.

Say I have: $str = "replace anything and everything in here."; Now I want to replace everything between the word "replace" and "here.", so the new string could read something like this: $str = "replace NOTHING here."; So it keeps the two end points but just replaces everything in the middle with a new specified string. Please help me if you can. Thanks. Matt
