Project history and usage

Search Replace DB is interconnect/it's GPLv3 PHP utility for database search-and-replace work during PHP and MySQL site migrations. Its own README frames the tool around migrating PHP/MySQL websites and says it works with common CMSes; the workflow is deliberately operational, with backups first, file migration, upload of the script folder, a browser UI, and a safe dry run before applying replacements.

How it is used

The 4.1 line added several features that explain the package's niche: multiple search-replaces, table exclusions, PHP/module/security checks, CLI SSL connection support, and removal of WordPress-specific automatic credential loading because it created security issues when users left the script on sites. In practice the Homebrew formula packages it as `mysql-search-replace` with the `srdb` executable, making a historically web-distributed migration script available as a command-line tool for developers who need a targeted database replacement step rather than a full CMS migration framework.
