Linux Global Substitutions Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve discussed the topic of Linux (or unix) shell scripting method of global file substitutions with the very old Are you interested in combating drudgery?<\/a> and the example usage in str_replace.sh<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday we revisited the idea regarding the upgrade to PHP 5.4 recently, and its affect on the osCommerce sample data website we have here<\/a> at the www.rjmprogramming.com.au domain.<\/p>\n

This PHP: Deprecated features in PHP 5.3.x – Manual<\/a> link outlines some of the issues we tackled using global substitution methods.<\/p>\n

So, with these deprecated features in mind we came up with the Korn Shell scripting code you could call oscommerce.ksh<\/a> as you can see below …<\/p>\n


\n#!\/bin\/ksh
\n# oscommerce.ksh
\n# Changes to osCommerce code to fix for PHP 5.4 ...
\n# PHP: Deprecated features in PHP 5.3.x - Manual
\n# http:\/\/php.net\/manual\/en\/migration53.deprecated.php
\nif [ ! -z \"$1\" ]; then
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_POST_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_POST_VARS\/_POST\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_COOKIE_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_COOKIE_VARS\/_COOKIE\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_GET_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_GET_VARS\/_POST\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_SERVER_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_SERVER_VARS\/_SERVER\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_ENV_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_ENV_VARS\/_ENV\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_SESSION_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_SESSION_VARS\/_SESSION\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_POST_FILES ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_POST_FILES\/_FILES\/g'
\n files=$(grep -rl HTTP_REQUEST_VARS ${1}) && echo $files | xargs sed -i 's\/HTTP_REQUEST_VARS\/_REQUEST\/g'
\nelse
\n echo \"Please add a path of interest\"
\nfi
\nexit
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

… and we also include a version that would work for Mac OS X environments that have an additional parameter for sed<\/i> shown with oscommerce_mac.ksh<\/a><\/p>\n

Of great help with the ideas of this script was this link<\/a> … thanks.<\/p>\n

Below are links to information regarding some of the Linux commands used in the script …<\/p>\n
