The working of the script will be like this:
1) upload the script;
2) run the script, the script makes new files;
3) download the new files.

The user can control the new files, maybe edit them some more and upload the new files to the server.

I think this is fast, save and simple.

For the code-lovers there will be an installationmanual to make the hack manual.

Is there anything I forgot?

Well done! Sorry that I was not helpful. I'm dead busy!
Some points:

1) Why downloading them? Showing them online in an editable text area would be nice.

2) do users need to set chmod 777 to includes directory?

2) I'm not sure if you can save the files because they could be write protected (755 or 744).
My idee was to copy the file to the image directory (always 777), edit the file and save it.
1) After that you can do with the file whatever you want. Download it or showing online in an editable text area.
There is also a possibility to automatic delete the file after saving for safety reasons.

When you have made a hack in a php script and you want to share it with other users this script is handy to distibute your hack.

What does the script? The script will search through the php-file, replace parts of code with your new code and save it in a new file. The users can edit or download the new file.

The basis of the php-replace-script is finished.
You can download the script here.

Your idea is very dangerous!!! There are many security issues which are hidden for normal user.
It isnt good idea to use it by normal users!!

eon,

please, whenever a user uses your script and comes to the forum for support and assistance, it is your job to give support ;=)

we, the pixelpost-crew, can not take guarantee for any problems which arise by automatic Search+Replace etc. and we have no manpower to give support for that unfortunately

No problem. I understand. Later I will make a page on northing.nl with more support an how to use this tool.

Is there a way to help your team? Maybe debugging or testing?

When a normal user is trying to hack is code. Is it save? I understand that a difficult hack will scare the normal users and then they will not try the hack.
What if the normal user is trying the hack and he/she ask you a lot because he/she don't understand the code?

I will not use the install script to publish my hack. So that you don't get problems with it. The last what I want is to boring you with a program that's not yours .

eon,

as 1.5 BETA is coming nearer, really, we will need people who give us good and detailled report if something goes wrong

so we count on you ;=)
