MySQL database replace

Below script replaces some text, in column, with another in specified database on mysql server.
I am posting this as copy/paste reference sometimes in future...

<?php
mysql_connect('host','user','pass');
mysql_select_db('database');
$result_table = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_table))
{
    foreach ($row as $key => $table)
    {
        $result_column = mysql_query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table');
        while ($row_column = mysql_fetch_array($result_column))
        {
            mysql_query(UPDATE $table SET $column = REPLACE($row_column['Field'], 'replace me', 'with me'));
        }
    }
}
?>
