PHP file renaming script

[Moon-Man.net]

Hey forum,
Could someone please give me a hand to write a script that will go through any given folder in a linux system, and remove BAD charactures? We have some macs that need to move files accross to a Samba inviroment, and it forbidds these cahractures. "\/ : * ? " < > |" but there are about 10,000 files that need to be renamed! Im not gonna do all them  :o
The only issue is that it needs to be a reocursive script. And that part im lost on :S
Could someone please help?
Cheers,
Nathan
