Well, since I'm a newbie and also Norwegian it ain't that easy to explain
very simple.
What he did was that he entered a file that showed all the users of the
server, as I said, and he told me this was kindof insecure.
To prevent it he showed me a code that would help a bit.
$filename=str_replace("..","",$filename);
$filename=str_replace("/","",$filename);
$filename=str_replace("%20","",$filename);
He used /, .. and %20 to reach this file on my server.

Not much to go on here. Basically don't do whatever it was you did. And
yes, understanding the environment you are working in, both the OS and PHP
and whatever 3rd party stuff you hook PHP up to is the first step to
making stuff secure.
