Automatically insert comments on every file in a script

Does anyone know of a small application or easy way to ne able to add a bit of code on every page of your script?

For example, say I wrote a script containing 100 php files and I would like to add something like

//My script name
//Version 1.2.2

Code (markup):

At the top pf each page.

There must be some way of doing this easily without hand coding it into all 100 script files.

Any suggestions?

 

make a new php file, put this in it, and then save it to the directory containing all of the scripts
When you run it, it will find the first <?php in each php file in that directory, and add your comment directly below it

Make sure you use // or /* */ or # for your comments

<?php

$comment = '//My script name
//Version 1.2.2';

foreach(glob('*.php') as $file)
{
    if($file == basename(__FILE__)) continue;
    $contents = file_get_contents($file);
    $contents = preg_replace('/<\?php/', "<?php\r\n".$comment, $contents,1);
    file_put_contents($file, $contents);
}

if you have sub-directories you can use RecursiveDirectoryIterator() and RecursiveIteratorIterator() to romp thru all files in all directories from $dir downward.

<?php
    $dir = "/server/path/to/start/from/";
    $comment1 = "// My script name";
    $comment2 = "// Version 1.2.2";
###########################################################
    $successful=0;
    $unsuccessful=0;
        $iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir);
        foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST) as $file)
            {
                if ($file->isFile())
                    {
                        if ((substr($file, strlen($file) - strlen("php"), strlen("php"))) == "php")
                            {
                                $importedfile = explode("\n", file_get_contents($file->getPathname()));
                                $importedfile[0] = $importedfile[0] . "\n$comment1\n$comment2\n";
                                if (@file_put_contents($file->getPathname(), implode("\n", $importedfile), LOCK_EX))
                                    {
                                        $successful++;
                                    }
                                else
                                    {
                                        $unsuccessful++;
                                        $unsuccessful_text .= "ERROR (check permissions): " . $file->getPathname() . "<BR> - file alter unsuccessful<BR><BR>";
                                    }
                            }
                    }
            }
echo "Successfully altered $successful files.<BR>";
echo "Unsuccessfully altered $unsuccessful files.<BR>";
echo "ERRORS: <BR><BR>$unsuccessful_text";
?>

PHP:

script places your comment on line 2 and 3 of each php file

 

Can I name the file whatever I want, and how to I actually run the file? Just upload all the PHP files and click on this file to run?

 

1. alter the $dir value for the path to the script root of your application your want to alter. This value should be available in your control panel. (example: $dir="/www/your_account/public_html/your_application/" ... its only an example as yours will differ.

2. upload the file to your applications root folder and name it anything you want.

3. then jsut access the file in a browser.
