Change constant, var value in php file

I'm writing my own tiny deployment script and I need to change db login and password in db.php file when copying it to remote host. Is it possible to change variable/constant value without hand-made analyzing (preg_replace etc.) text of php file?

I know that PHP have tokenizer, but I have no clue how to use it.

Please help me with some samples.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

You may find phing overkill but it is quite useful. http://phing.info/trac/

A simple str_replace would suffice, for example:

$config = file_get_contents('config.dist');
$config = str_replace(
              array('##USERNAME##', '##PASSWORD##'),
              array($realUsername, $realPassword),
              $config);
file_put_contents('config.php', $config);

where config.dist would look something like this:

<?php
$username = '##USERNAME##';
$password = '##PASSWORD##';
?>
