RE: [PHP] Search replace text
ok, here's a scratch:
$contents = file ($file);
for($i=0; $isizeof($contents); $i++){
$staff .= eregi_replace("this", "with_this", $staff);
}
$fp = fopen ($file, "w");
$fputs ($staff);
fclose ($fp);
I think this should work ...

Thanks for the idea. Can you give me an example of how to load a file into
an array? My efforts failed.
Thanks

3. you open the same file and, looping the array writing it down overriding
any existing data in the file.
You are now set.

Subject: [PHP] Search replace text
Hello all. I am trying to search through a text file on my server to
replace the user email. I can open the file and read it, but cannot get it
to "find" the actual string and replace it. Can someone look over my code
and see what the problem is? I am afraid that ereg is not my strongest
point.
Also, at what point should I start writing the file out? Wouldn't there be
a permissions error if I was reading and writing at the same time?
Thanks

RE: [PHP] Search replace text
Sorry, I made a small mistake in my code ...
this is correct:
$contents = file ($file);
for($i=0; $isizeof($contents); $i++){
$staff .= eregi_replace("this", "with_this", $contents[$i]);
}
$fp = fopen ($file, "w");
$fputs ($staff);
fclose ($fp);

You need to assign the output of this function to a string:
$new_line = str_replace($oldemail, $newemail, $line);
Another little thing: You don't need the eregi() here - just do
str_replace. If it doesn't find $oldemail it won't do anything.
