Hi.
Please could you advise me...
I have php pages that are stored in a mysql database, that will later
be imported into a cms
I want to use mysql's regex funtion to remove unwanted php code and
update links to images
and urls.
But i cant seem to get my brian around the regex part ...
i want to remove the header include <?php require("./include/header1");?>
i tried <\?php[^>][header1].*\?> , and other attempts but no luck ..
unfortunetly i can do a normal string replace because of varations,in
the code ...
Many Thanks
MySQL's REGEX is only for matching, not for replacement. If you really need a
regex search and replace, you may find it easier to dump your data, edit it,
and reimport it. If you are determined to do it in mysql, you'll need a
(probably ugly) combination of mysql string functions. See the manual for
details:
