Hi,
I'm wondering if there's a free program that can search for source code with files, for example if I want to find "mysql_connect" in my script.
the window's build-in search would only search txt or doc files, and treats my phps as binary.
Let me know if anyone has good suggestions.
Thanks
xudzh

Most editors have build in search capabilities of this, to be able to search through a directory for any instances..
From my knowledge:
Dreamweaver 6+
PHP Designer 2005
Zend Studio
Crimson Editor

M$ Notepad.
Also, windoze search should work. Just search for *.php as the filename and mysql_connect as the contents.

Notepad can't search in files unless you open each one.

That's not so bad, because at least you took the trouble to remove unrelevent paragraphs from the quote.
I have a thing about quotes recently

Crimson Editor is outstanding, and it has a "find in files" feature.
