Auto edit all files in subfolders

[Hamlets666]

Hey guys ;)
Could you help me with this one:
imagine there is a folder secret with many subfolders and subsubfolders and....
I need to edit all files (  str_replace("was so", "is now", $fileweread);  )

Omg, where are you all super programmers?

i dont quite understand what you mean by subfolders... Do you have a specific file extension? like .txt files? or you want to edit every file with any extension?

Is this on a Linux server? Bash and sed would be much more suited to the task, and you could even run it from within PHP.

[code]
<?php
foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) {
// get contents of file, line by line, and put into an array
$data = file_get_contents($filename);
$data = str_replace("was so", "is now", $data);
$file = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($file, $data);
// close file
fclose($file);}
?>
[/code]
I believe this would work for the txt files in a directory but not its subdirectory...
hope it helps.

Sounds more like he wants to hack with this routine...as if was on a local box, an editor would do the functions :-(
