if(!substr_count($__script, '.php') && isset($_GET['nostringreply'])) die("can only request return of resource from a php script"); This is NOT GOOD! It allows for script to read from "exploit.php.sh" for instance. IIRC it's also possible to include a remote file by using http or ftp, so checking on ".php" in the script name is no security at all. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-get-contents.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33586 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33586&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33586&report=yes
