Is there something like this that can work on a web server ?

 

If it is a LINUX server use via shell access
**********
for fl in *.php; do
mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/Searchterm/New term/g' $fl.old > $fl
rm -f $fl.old
done
**************
**************
for fl in *.php; do
^^^^
This would change term in all files in the folder ending in .php
Change to suit
