In addition to the solution mentioned using PHP filesystem functions, you could use Unix command like grep, sed, etc. called from within your PHP script to accomplish this. Or you could use a search and replace program like rpl (happens to be free) which you can download from http://www.laffeycomputer.com/rpl.html. rpl's syntax is very simple - "rpl 'old_string' 'new_string' filename" and you can call it using one of the program execution functions or by enclosing it within backticks. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/
