php str_replace dynamic url in header.php?

Question

hey guys, a little weird question that doesn't actually need to be associated with wordpress.

i want to test a wordpress website on my iPhone. since i'm in the same network, i can simply call my local apache server from my iphone. however since my setup is a bit complicated the website on the iphone has completely wrong links to all its stylesheets and js-files.

anyway, since i'm not really a php person i wonder if it's simply possible to run a php script at the end of my header.php to just replace any http://mylocaltestdomain.com by http://192.168.172.29/mylocaltestdomain.com

however all the links to stylesheets are generated dynamically. e.g.

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/scripts.js" type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"></script>

so again, just so you get it: i wonder if it's possible to replace all dynamic wordpress links (bloginfo('template_directory'...) with some other structure.

is that possible? how?

thank you

If the site isn't live, you could temporarily change the WordPress address (URL) value (in Settings -> General) to the server's IP address.
