// Safe Search and Replace on Database with Serialized Data v2.0.0 | |
// This script is to solve the problem of doing database search and replace | |
// when developers have only gone and used the non-relational concept of | |
// serializing PHP arrays into single database columns. It will search for all | |
// matching data on the database and change it, even if it's within a serialized | |
// PHP array. | |
// The big problem with serialised arrays is that if you do a normal DB | |
// style search and replace the lengths get mucked up. This search deals with | |
// the problem by unserializing and reserializing the entire contents of the | |
// database you're working on. It then carries out a search and replace on the | |
// data it finds, and dumps it back to the database. So far it appears to work | |
// very well. It was coded for our WordPress work where we often have to move | |
// large databases across servers, but I designed it to work with any database. | |
// Biggest worry for you is that you may not want to do a search and replace on | |
// every damn table - well, if you want, simply add some exclusions in the table | |
// loop and you'll be fine. If you don't know how, you possibly shouldn't be | |
// using this script anyway. | |
// To use, simply configure the settings below and off you go. I wouldn't | |
// expect the script to take more than a few seconds on most machines. | |
// BIG WARNING! Take a backup first, and carefully test the results of this code. | |
// If you don't, and you vape your data then you only have yourself to blame. | |
// Seriously. And if you're English is bad and you don't fully understand the | |
// instructions then STOP. Right there. Yes. Before you do any damage. | |
// USE OF THIS SCRIPT IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. I/We accept no liability from its use. | |
// First Written 2009-05-25 by David Coveney of Interconnect IT Ltd (UK) | |
// http://www.davidcoveney.com or http://www.interconnectit.com | |
// and released under the WTFPL | |
// ie, do what ever you want with the code, and we take no responsibility for it OK? | |
// If you don't wish to take responsibility, hire us at Interconnect IT Ltd | |
// on +44 (0)151 331 5140 and we will do the work for you, but at a cost, minimum 1hr | |
// To view the WTFPL go to http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ (WARNING: it's a little rude, if you're sensitive) | |
// Version 2.0.0 - returned to using unserialize function to check if string is serialized or not | |
// - marked is_serialized_string function as deprecated | |
// - changed form order to improve usability and make use on multisites a bit less scary | |
// - changed to version 2, as really should have done when the UI was introduced | |
// - added a recursive array walker to deal with serialized strings being stored in serialized strings. Yes, really. | |
// - changes by James R Whitehead (kudos for recursive walker) and David Coveney 2011-08-26 | |
// Version 1.0.2 - typos corrected, button text tweak - David Coveney / Robert O'Rourke | |
// Version 1.0.1 - styling and form added by James R Whitehead. | |
// Credits: moz667 at gmail dot com for his recursive_array_replace posted at | |
// uk.php.net which saved me a little time - a perfect sample for me | |
// and seems to work in all cases. | |

<h4><a href="http://interconnectit.com/">interconnect/it</a> <a href="http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/">Safe Search and Replace on Database with Serialized Data v2.0.0</a></h4> | |
<p>This developer/sysadmin tool helps solve the problem of doing a search and replace on a | |
WordPress site when doing a migration to a domain name with a different length.</p> | |
<p><style="color:red">WARNING!</strong> Take a backup first, and carefully test the results of this code. | |
If you don't, and you vape your data then you only have yourself to blame. | |
Seriously. And if you're English is bad and you don't fully understand the | |
instructions then STOP. Right there. Yes. Before you do any damage. | |
<h2>Don't Forget to Remove Me!</h3> | |
<p style="color:red">Delete this utility from your | |
server after use. It represents a major security threat to your database if | |
maliciously used.</p> | |
<h2>Use Of This Script Is Entirely At Your Own Risk</h2> | |
<p> We accept no liability from the use of this tool.</p> | |
<p>If you're not comfortable with this kind of stuff, get an expert, like us, to do | |
this work for you. You do this ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK! We accept no responsibility | |
if you mess up your data. There is NO UNDO here!</p> | |
<p>The easiest way to use it is to copy your site's files and DB to the new location. | |
You then, if required, fix up your .htaccess and wp-config.php appropriately. Once | |
done, run this script, select your tables (in most cases all of them) and then | |
enter the search replace strings. You can press back in your browser to do | |
this several times, as may be required in some cases.</p> | |
<p>Of course, you can use the script in many other ways - for example, finding | |
all references to a company name and changing it when a rebrand comes along. Or | |
perhaps you changed your name. Whatever you want to search and replace the code will help.</p> | |
