However, with this version, I notice that it is not actually replacing all the instances of the string within the WP database. For example, the following tables: - wp_options - wp_rg_form_meta - wp_rg_lead_detail_long still have the old values after running the script.

unfortunatly i had to spend a couple of hours figuring out what was wrong..
ironically, a script that was supposed to avoid data corruption was corrupting data,

if you are running this script as a stand alone (as i was running version 1.0 http://www.davesgonemental.com/mysql-database-search-replace-with-serialized-php/ )
you will need to add
mysql_set_charset(’utf8′);
bellow mysql_connect()
otherwise you will get wrong lenghts in the serialized data.

another issue has to do with Error Notices.
there will be so many that you script will die beofre it finishes if your time limit is 30 secs.
those notices some from using unserialize() with no serialized data.
to avoid that use this conditional

$unserialized = @unserialize( $data_to_fix );
if ( ‘b:0;’ === $data_to_fix || false !== $unserialized ) {

one last thing,
this script wont run if its not installed in the root wordpress folder,
because get_bloginfo() wont be a registered function.
to solve that,,

use this

<input id=”search_text” type=”text” name=”search” value=”" class=”text”/>

Thanks a lot for your work.
just a little back in return

I have copied it to the root folder (httpdocs) but when I run it I still only get the Wordpress Fatal Error screen - no sign of your script. Am I missing something? Cheers Sam Hi Dave

Really keen to use this script. I have copied it to the root folder (httpdocs) but when I run it I still only get the Wordpress Fatal Error screen - no sign of your script.

Am I missing something?

Cheers

Sam
