The short version is:  I need to master the download stream for a file,
while delivering it to the enduser, I need to change some bytes in the
file data. A simple search and replace. I want to do it in the stream,
don't want to create a new file each time. The data is not a string,
it is in fact a serial number being inserted into an "EXE" download.

I "get" how to do this with ASP, but the active replace in PHP has
me totally lost.

Any hints ?



If this is an EXE, I assume it is in binary format?

If so, would not your serial number have been compiled into the software?

Wouldn't a simple search/replace fail in this case?
