[Editor's note: See the section "Security" in the manual for more information on this
and other security matters]
The script getpdf.php should only be used to learn the concept of passing a file through a script
and not actually used to perform this task. In its current state, there is a large security flaw
which enables many files (including all your php source) to be viewed by anyone.
For example http://server/getpdf.php?filename=/etc/passwd
shows the servers machines password file.
