Open dir

[alfoxy]

Hello all
i want to open a dir and change a word in all files

so ive got this far

// open dir and get list of files

if ($dir = @opendir("/tmp")) 
{ while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) 
{  $files[] = $file; } 
closedir($dir); } 

foreach ( $files as $file )
{

//   open each file
if(! $open_file = file($file))
{
//  echo "CANT OPEN $file <br>";
}
else
{
//echo "OPENED FILE $file <br>" ;


foreach($open_file as $a)
{


   $a =  preg_replace("/(.*)(word)(.*)/", "$1 newword $3", $a) ;


}

But this doesnt save the files ... how would i do this ?

Thanks

Al

Well, you'd use $fp=fopen($filename,'w'); to open the file for writing, fwrite($fp,$stuff); to write $stuff to it, and fclose($fp) to close it again.
