If you know where the data is coming from, and the method used -then it's usually better to use $_POST or $_GET. Otherwise, dont use $_REQUEST another problem: if you pass things in url (including session id), http referer will be leaked out when user click on a out linking url. but if u hide it in <form action=post>, then this will not happend.

it was strreplace interfering with the filename.....dammit

Im trying to delete files with 0 size, im using unlink function but it doesnt work, do the files need to have a size greater than 0 to unlink? $fileName = "Video.mpg"; if (filesize($fileName) < 0){ unlink($fileName); echo $fileName." too small - deleted<br>"; } The echo part is printing out but the unlink doesnt do anything

Yeah i wasnt sure if filesize() function was in bytes or kilobytes Thanks

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ index.php RewriteRule ^contact/ contact.php

how can i check the filesize of a file, i need to make sure its above 0.5mb (500kb). Ive done this below but im not sure if its right $file = "file.mpg"; if (filesize($file) < 500kb){ unlink($file); }

No I was checking my cpanel, apparently they do have it but my server has it switched off. Dammit...looks like ill be a script kiddie for some time

Heres a list of directories i can access on my server through ftp public_html tmp public_ftp www bash_history bash_logout bash_profile bashrc contactemail ftp_quota lang last_login pearrc zshrc php mail bin ssh access_logs and a few other misc stuff Can i do something with this

Do i need shell access, cause the server im using is shared. I have cpanel installed can i do it through this??

Ok i have no idea how to run a command line on linux

Ive searched for hours on how to actually run/execute a bash script on linux. Do i run it in my browser or do i need root access of the server and run it through something like putty

If I get a freelancer to write a script for me and pay them, do I own the script exclusively

Thats a good idea. Thanks

How can i delete an entire directories contents but keep the directory itself

Im trying to send a user back to a page he was viewing before he goes to login.php page page.php > login.php After login redirect back to page.php Ive done this code but i dont know if $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is the best way to track internal pages //after successful login redirect $come_from = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; if ($come_from == "site.com/login.php"){ $redirect_url = "http://site.com/index.php"; }else{ $redirect_url = "javascript:history.go(-2)"; } redirect($redirect_url)

I never done anything with curl before. Can someone give me an example of how i can get a file from remote server and store it in local server http://remote_site.com/files/video.mpg to http://local_site.com/temp/video.mpg $remote = "http://remote_site.com/files/video.mpg"; $local = "http://local_site.com/temp/video.mpg"; $ch = curl_init($remote); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $output; Also can i use "http://" in the curl_int or do i have to remove slashes
