Help on usage

[newbtophp]

I'd like to make more reliable way of replacing function names (currently im using str_replace), theirfore I thought I could make a user defined function which is used exactly the same way as str_replace however it's dependency is token_get_all. (so it manipulates token_get_all to find a function [internal & userdefined] like the $search and replace all occurences of it)

 

So for example:

 

<?php
function replace_function($search, $replace, $code){
$tokens = token_get_all($code);
//proceed with complex code... 
}
$code = '<?php
deval("hey");
?>';

$code = replace_function('deval', 'echo', $code);

echo $code;

?>

 

All help is appreciated.

For portability reasons it is highly discouraged to replace functions with your own baked (untested) functions instead try namespacing your own functions like my_* or something

Yes, As you'll see in any professional code samples (IE very large CMSs, Boards), They use their own namespaces or function prefexes. (Sometimes only but an underscore ("_") is needed before the function name if you're not sure what functions may be intercepted by your naming convention).
