this one saved a lot of of messing about when i had to move a wordpress site to a different url/path to a new location.

but I had to modify it a little to allow for some wierd escape slashes for the quoted strings. but this might have been a once off with some particular wordpress modules we used.

before $unserialized:
$escapedstuff = 0;
if(preg_match(‘/:\\\”/’,$data_to_fix) && preg_match(‘/\\\”;/’,$data_to_fix))
{
$data_to_fix = preg_replace(‘/:\\\”/’,’:“‘,$data_to_fix);
$data_to_fix = preg_replace(‘/\\\”;/’,’”;’,$data_to_fix);
$escapedstuff = 1;
}

and after $edited_data:
if($escapedstuff == 1)
{
$edited_data = preg_replace(‘/:\”/’,’:\“‘,$edited_data);
$edited_data = preg_replace(‘/\”;/’,’\”;’,$edited_data);
}

Thank you for making this script. It just made migrating a BuddyPress local install to an online server a whole lot easier. Thanks again. Have a great day.
