Nice code, it could be so much more… maybe a WordPress plugin?

Hey, thanks for your comments. I'm afraid at the moment this script does not handle serialized arrays. I am currently working on a new version which does and also allows regular expressions for your search and replacements – I'll keep you posted once I've finished it.

Question: Does this handle serialised array data or will that cause problems?

Thank you for this! Just great.

Yeah... I too came across the people with the "Instead I'll tell you how you should have set up your database."

Reminds me of the scene in Funny Farm:

"Hey Mac, how do you get to Redbud?"

"If I wanted to go to Redbud, I wouldn't start from here."

Thanks

Hi MJ7, Quick THANKS!!! I went through the same avenues of Google, Bing, etc and everyone had a single field replacement script but nothing for the whole data base… very frustrating. But you saved the day as my Joomla site backend was used on a new site, so a full search replace had to occur and it worked like a charm. Here are some of the keywords that I searched for; phpmyadmin search and replace, mysql replace all, phpmyadmin find replace complete, phpmyadmin search/replace database, mysql search replace whole database I hope that these get you higher in the search engines. Again thanks! Stainless

I am using the Arras Theme – see: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/arras-theme

I have made a few tweaks to alter the branding but nothing major.

Which WP theme are you using?
