Re: weird PHP files in /tmp

Probably uploaded files from a file upload form. Could maybe be session variable files, but I think the filenames on those are much longer. On a busy server, this could just be a *lot* of people uploading baby pictures... More likely, something is broken in file upload somewhere, and the files are being left behind rather than cleaned up. (Old versions of PHP left uploaded files behind as well -- What PHP are you running?) If you are an ISP, you may want to try looking in the files to see if there's any way to identify which client is making this mess and help them fix their PHP script. ----- Original Message ----- From: "indrek siitan" <tfr@cafe.ee> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 4:07 AM Subject: [PHP] weird PHP files in /tmp > Hi, > > --- 8< --- > > pillemati:/tmp# ls -la php* | head > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:09 php014008 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:09 php114008 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 15 11:47 phpA04274 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:07 phpA14008 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 15 11:47 phpB04274 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:07 phpB14008 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 15 11:47 phpC04274 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:07 phpC14008 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 15 11:47 phpD04274 > -rw------- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Dec 1 16:07 phpD14008 > > pillemati:/tmp# ls -la php* | wc -l > 4056 > > --- 8< --- > > any idea where these php-files come from? > > i last cleaned the /tmp about a week or a little more ago, so > these 4056 files have appeared during that period.. > > > Rgds, > Tfr > > --==< tfr@cafe.ee >==< http://tfr.cafe.ee/ > >==< +372-50-17621 >==-- > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
