open a html file and replace link

[wanaka]

I have a html file some of the portion contains the following.

<img border="1" src="graph.gif" alt="graph">
<img border="1" src="graph001.gif" alt="graph01">
<img border="1" src="graph002.gif" alt="graph02">
<img border="1" src="graph003.gif" alt="graph03">
<img border="1" src="graph004.gif" alt="graph04">
<img border="1" src="graph005.gif" alt="graph05">
<img border="1" src="graph006.gif" alt="graph06">
<img border="1" src="graph007.gif" alt="graph07">

I would like to replace those graph.gif, graph001.gif, graph002.gif syntax with a new file name convention like mygraph.gif, mygraph001.gif, mygraph002.gif

Now wait...

You want to do this with PHP or do you just need to to use shell command perl or another editor to perform a search and replace???

actually I want to do this in php.

I have written a script that called some cgi to generate a page with some graphs. But the problem is each time the cgi will generate the graph in the same naming convention.

Since I can't modify that cgi, I have written a script to fetch the output file and rename all graph with my naming convention. Actually if there is any perl script or anything available I think I can call it inside my php script using the shell_exec function

Since I can't modify that cgi, I have written a script to fetch the output file and rename all graph with my naming convention.

So you've been successful renaming with your convention or you just have the "fetch output" portion of your script for implementing your naming convention?

I only successfully rename those gif file to my naming convention. Now the problem is those img src link in the html file I need to replace all of them as well

[bretticus]

I'm sorry, so you can rename the actual filenames of the .gif, but you need to parse the html files so that they correspond to the names of the renamed files??

[wanaka]

yes you are right..
