Mass replace

[almightyegg]

On my files I always used to use sessions but then changed to COOKIES. All of a sudden where ever I have left a session_start it shows an error which it hadn't previously done...

Anyways! Rather than going through each of the 100s of files 1 by 1 I was wondering if it's possible to write a script that deletes Session_start from any file that is in my directory??

 

Thanks in advance

what program are you using? if you use Dreamweaver you can do a search and replace... just type "seesion_start" as the search word and leave the replace box empty. that will go trough the whole file and replace every session_start it can find

No I'm using Notepad - is there no way to do it with pure PHP?

i think if you go to Edit > Replace and do the same steps there like i explained for DW

Yes it does, but it still means I have to open 200+ files to do it

[resago]

glob *.php

run through the array,

  open each file into a string

  do a string or preg replace /s

  write the string back to the file.

yeah you could do something like resago said..

make a file called something like "rem_session_start.php"

 

in it you make a script that opens every php file and replaces "session_start" with a blank space or something
