I assume you are asking me to provide a more clear explanation of what I did. Okay.

From the linux command prompt, I ran the following commands, which perform a search and replace for die(" and also die (" and replace the die function with a new function name called diefunc for all my files of extension .php

Code:
perl -pi -w -e 's/die\("/diefunc\("/g;' *.php
perl -pi -w -e 's/die \("/diefunc \("/g;' *.php

Tutorial found here:
Linux - Search and replace over multiple files.

I then created a new function diefunc

Code:
function diefunc($text)
{
        global $h;
        echo $text;$h->endpage();exit;
}

My site has a global function .php file which is included in all my site pages, and it is there where I created this global function to be used on all the PHP pages now using the diefunc.
