Re: string replace in files

How would I change this to do a recursive search for the .php files > instead of just the *.php or */*.php in the glob? Make a recursive function and use the opendir() / readdir() functions. Use is_dir() to see if the file is a directory, and if so, call the function again passing the new directory. If it's not, grab the last four characters looking for ".php" to see if you should open/replace/rewrite the file. > 2.

There will normally be between 2 and 4 lines that I want > deleted and 2 to replace them. Same method. You'd probably want to use a regular expression to get rid of the lines and insert the replacement text. ---John Holmes...
