It can be done with regular expressions (but i'll leave that to someone
who is GOOD at them :)
The problem is that for a php program to parse a file (so stuff) it has
to be named with a .php extension (or whatever your server is set up to
do), so nested includes will fall over.
I'd just like to point out however that if you do this, you'll put a
long term burden and performance issue into your site.
If you grab a decent text editor, and do a search and replace accross
the whole site (decent text editors can do search and replace on a whole
directory or disk), you'll have a once-off chore, rather than giving the
server a constant chore.
example
Search and Replace
<!-- include file="
with
<?php include('
the search and replace
.txt" -->
with
.php'); ?>
so <!-- include file="stuff.txt" -->
becomes <?php include('stuff.php'); ?>
easy. the bad bit is that you've got to then go and rename each
extension .php instead of .txt, but you are going to have this problem
with either method, due to the nested natur of your inlcude files.
how many files in total are we talking about (the includes and nested
includes, not the parent pages)?
