Message:

Someone can help me how to make a regular expression to convert all strings like:

$_POST['key']

To:

$_key

This will not be used in the code itself, but I will use it in my IDE, to facilitate a bulk change.

Thanks.

My Answer:
You can use the following regular expression to achieve this conversion:

Find: \$_POST\['(.*?)'\]
Replace: \$_$1

This regular expression will match any string in the format $_POST['key'] and replace it with $_key. Just make sure to enable regular expression search/replace in your IDE when performing the bulk change.
