A small sed script would easily handle this conversion. I doubt you have any of those on windows so I'd do the conversion before moving. for file in *.php; do cp $file $file.tmp sed -e "s/\//\\\\/g" $file.tmp >$file rm $file.tmp done Remember on windows you will be dealing with backslashes instead of forward slashes, and you have to escape the backslashes with backslashes. $path = '/usr/local/blah'; will be something like: $path = 'c:\\inetpub\\www'; -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/
