Hi everybody,
(I used phpmyadmin-users mailing first but I did not receive any response so sorry for double-post)
I'm new to phpmyadmin development, so far I have been just passive daily user. I think phpmyadmin is great and I would love to help making it even better.
I'm working on regex-replace interface for phpmyadmin: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1398891&gro...
I would love to hear your thoughts about this concept I have, I suggest following UI: http://karoldanko.com/img/regex-replace.png
The 'Rows to replace' is simply a where statement
The second fieldset contains user defined regular expression matches. Each regexp has sort of ID which is later used when addressing correct token
The last fieldset contains fields to be replaced. Fields are replaced by addressing ID of the match and token, e.g. #1$2 means token 2 from match 1
thank you in advance
Karol

Hi Karol, I'll have suggestions about the interface but first a question.
Looking at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/regexp.html it seems that MySQL REGEXP is based on POSIX extended regular expressions and not PCRE (which supports back references).
Hi Mark, thank you for reply
I will use both POSIX (for WHERE) and PCRE for (match&replace)
The script will first select all rows matching WHERE fieldset after that it will loop the results and handle the replace via PHP (2nd fieldset MATCH and 3rd fieldset REPLACE)
(So to check all rows with PHP, the WHERE fieldset would be empty)
The problem however is the use of both POSIX and PCRE on the same page which may be confusing, but using only MySQL POSIX would make more complicated replaces impossible. On the other hand using only PHP's PCRE and looping all the results may be very inefficient on large result sets.

Indeed. About the interface, don't you think that introducing a new syntax ($1 and #1) would be too confusing?
I think it would be better to offer a simpler syntax even if this means having less functionality. Therefore you would keep the "standard" way of using a backreference, a backslash followed by a digit.

Hi, I have done basic functionality - It still needs more work but any feedback would be great
I did not implement the original proposal which can be found sooner in this mailing list, instead I made it more simple as Marc Delisle suggested
screen: http://phpmyadmin-regexreplace.karoldanko.com/screen1.png
just select 'regex' function in select fieldset, uncheck 'ignore' in replace fieldset
demo: http://phpmyadmin-regexreplace.karoldanko.com/ user: parizank_test pass: phpmyadmin
git: http://repo.or.cz/w/phpmyadmin-regexreplace.git

I think it would be useful to have some example available (eg. "how do I replace all occurrences of 'Name Surname' with 'Surname Name'") and a link to MySQL docs explaining REGEXP syntax. Also, some explanation on Function column would be nice.
Check for column types, phpMyAdmin doesn't show REGEXP operator for int columns - in this case col1 in Replace is useless (?).
