Hi,
I have 2 main php questions and a few sub questions :-)
1.
I have Dreamweaver/EditPlus and Zend developer (some full versions some
trial) (am open to trying out other tools)
Is there anyway to do a find/replace on a particular variable in a whole
directory? (or all files that refer/use that variable)
eg:
find $GuessableVariable and replace it with $HardToGuessVariable
or do i have to go file by file and do a search?
2.
I have visited many sites which use ASP/JSP and PHP which instead of calling
*differient* pages like so:
http://somesite.com/pageName.php?s=blah
http://somesite.com/DifferientPageName.php?s=blah2
(thats the way i generally program)
keep calling the *same* page with numbers, like so:
http://somesite.com/pageName.php?s=333
then
http://somesite.com/pageName.php?s=334
http://somesite.com/pageName.php?s=253
etc
Whats the advantage of the above and whats the idea?
isnt it much easier (and logical) to keep track of pages if you give them a
logical name?
giving a page: loginClient.php is much easier than remembering
script.php?val=214
right?
Or am I missing something?
Thanks,

Hi ryan,
I have a search replace tool which i'll send to you, you can add all php
files to it and do a search replace on all of them at once, very simple.
and as for the 2nd question when I build sites I use the
index.php?page=contact etc type method, the point is to have one file
with your navigation/header/footer in so you can make one change to
these common parts for all pages.
e.g.
index.php?page=contact
would be as follows
*
//header
//navigation
switch(page) {
case contact: include("contact.php"); break;
}
//footer
*
whereas when you call a different file for each page it is more like this...
*
include("header.php");
// code & content here
include("footer.php");
*
or at least thats how I do it : )
