ReplaceComment is now functioning. I missed the quote. but the function that calls it to replace multiple content tagged items in a file does not work.
menu7a.php in http://Jesusnjim.com/z/menu7a.zip
does not handle switch statements correctly.
to use, you must copy config7a-example.php to config7a.php and edit config7a.php with your web site setup. it is almost done, but I think there is a bug in my code and in php because funny things are happening and things that should happen don't, like replacing file content.
I have to go to bed right now, pick up in the morning I hope.

tomorrow morn I will be going on a photo shoot.
copy index.html index2.html
put in menu7a.php line 191 for test (this function is near end of file):
ReplaceFileContent(1,"/index2.html","HOME","VISITOR");
exit(1);


php menu7a.php
