Find and replace

[nasse]

Need some one to help me in doing a find and replace task for all the files in my application. I have a list of pairs of old values in one file (findFile.php) and wanted to replace them with different values that are store in second file (replaceFile.php):

findFile.php:

, "abdomen", "Abdomen";
, "afternoon", "Afternoon";
, "almost always", "Almost Always";
, "almost never", "Almost Never";
, "always", "Always";
, "bursitis", "Bursitis";
, "carpal tunnel syndrome", "Carpal tunnel syndrome";
.
.
.
.

to be replaced with the following info stored in replaceFile.php:

, "10", "Abdomen";
, "2", "Afternoon";
, "1", "Almost Always";
, "4", "Almost Never";
, "1", "Always";
, "16", "Bursitis";
, "21", "Carpal tunnel syndrome";
.
.
.
.

I am using this php code and works fine if I do it one by one. But I wanted my script to read from findFile.php, search my entire directory for matching values in the findFile.php and if found, replace them with the corrosponding values in the replaceFile.php.

<?
$findString = 'find string';
$replaceString = 'replace with;
$path = "/home/nassera/*.*";
$findString = "#" . $findString . "#";
$globarray = glob($path);
$count = 0;
if ($globarray) foreach ($globarray as $filename)
{
  $source = file_get_contents($filename);
  $source = preg_replace($findString,$replaceString,$source);
  $handle = fopen($filename,"w");
  fwrite($handle,"$source");
  fclose($handle);
  $count++;
}
?>
