Globally replace a string in a MySQL database

mysql-replace-string.php

<?php

// A way to globally replace strings in a MySQL database, particularly useful for changing the name
// of a host when moving a WordPress installation from one server to another. This script also auto
// detects any serialized PHP objects, unserializes them, replaces the string and then saves the
// reserialized object.
