Thread: converting from php3 to php4

I am in the process of converting from php3 to php4 and at the same time
going from mysql to postgres.

All the relevent files reside in

../foo/bar

And the vast majority are in the form *.php3 with internal references to
other webpages which (of course) are also in the form *.php3.

What I need is something that can go into that particular sub directory and
find every instance of php3 and make it php, both as a part of a file name
and internally in the file.

Thanks for the help.

Not really a PostgreSQL problem, but something quick in Perl could do
this:

<untested>

 perl -pi.bak -e 's/php4/php/gi;' `find -name "*.php3"`

</untested>

will iterate over all files in the current directory and below named
*.php3. It iterates over every line in the file, subbing php for php3.

Followups to a Perl list, please.

That shouldn't be too hard.

I don't have something that can do this (though I'm sure osmething
exists) -- you could just have Apache use .php3 in addition to .php as a PHP
file extension (that's what I did on the machines with PHP3 code when we
went to PHP4 and it worked just fine).

Good luck!

No.  The only idea I have is to have some external program send a kill
-2 to the backend.  This will cause a cancel of the query.

Why don't you just add in the add-type of php a .php3. Like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
