Replace word in mysql database
I found this script and I think is useful. Now I update the word “test” in my database with word “test2” . I need this bacuse of changing the url of my cdn and without this script it will be hours to do this :biggrin: This is the script:
<?php // edit this line to add old and new terms which you want to be replaced $search_replace = array( 'oldword' => 'newword', 'oldword2' => 'newword2' ); //change the localhost,username,password and database-name according to your db mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "userpass") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error()); $show_tables = mysql_query( 'SHOW TABLES' ); while( $st_rows = mysql_fetch_row( $show_tables ) ) { foreach( $st_rows as $cur_table ) { $show_columns = mysql_query( 'SHOW COLUMNS FROM ' . $cur_table ); while( $cc_row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $show_columns ) ) { $column = $cc_row['Field']; $type = $cc_row['Type']; if( strpos( $type, 'char' ) !== false || strpos( $type, 'text' ) !== false ) { foreach( $search_replace as $old_string => $new_string ) { $replace_query = 'UPDATE ' . $cur_table . ' SET ' . $column . ' = REPLACE(' . $column . ', \'' . $old_string . '\', \'' . $new_string . '\')'; mysql_query( $replace_query ); } } } } } echo 'replaced'; mysql_free_result( $show_columns ); mysql_free_result( $show_tables ); mysql_close( $mysql_link ); ?>
Or download from here. Rename .txt to .php and run it : php search_replace.php , thats it!
