Re: [PHP] Uptime script?
also sprach Ryan Christensen (on Wed, 16 May 2001 06:47:08PM -0700): No.. as I said in my original post, this is on Linux.. so I was actually wondering how it would be a risk in Linux.. not win.. sorry, i haven't really followed the thread. well, *iff* your system is properly configured *and* you take good care of it, then uptime is not an indication of vulnerability. however, it may well be an indication of how old your kernel is. if all you want to do is show that your server is stable, then go ahead and state it's running on linux. seriously, i don't think you need to prove it. in fact, it seems kind of silly to do so - it's commonly known and eventually, even the biggest dorks will get tired of service pack 7b service release 2 patch level 3 second attempt. excuse me, but the entire windoze 2000/xp joke is about the dumbest thing that anyone could have ever done to the community. it's ridiculous in fact. however, i have something against those users that try hard for the sake of whatever to have large uptimes. if a new kernel comes out, you give it two weeks to find out about bugs, and if it's good, you slam it on. my machines never have uptimes longer than a month, but that's because i willingly take them down because i care for them. i have never experienced any of my *BSD or Linux machines crash. sure, i have done the equivalent of deleting the registry (rm -rf /etc) or have accidentally disconnected running harddrives, but all UNIX would tell me is to *please* fix it *while* continuing to run and service users as usual. don't compete for high uptimes. take care of your systems and keep them current. and if you are running windoze in a serious environment, the ask yourself why the output field in uptime.exe is only 8 bits in size :-. i found this out as part of a trace debug when someone pointed this out on bugtraq i think and i didn't believe it. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^.*|tr * mailto:; net@madduck -- redistribution of this email via the micros~1 network is prohibited. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] highest file
hey, given a directory structure like $DOCUMENT_ROOT/2001/03/02 (where 02 is a file in dir 03/ which obviously represents a date, i would like to implement a page such as latest.php, which will go to $DOCUMENT_ROOT, list all the directories, sort them numerically, choose the largest, chdir, repeat, chdir, and obtain the name of the file that is associated with the "highest" number. this is related to an announcement page, where a central page display.php handles the date directory tree. sometimes, there are releases on consecutive days, but it may happen that an announcement is a couple of days back, in which case i want latest.php to find it automatically and dynamically. any hints? martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- "when I was a boy I was told that anybody could become president. now i'm beginning to believe it." -- clarence darrow -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] hiding .php
hi, i would like to set up a script "forum" such that you can call a url http://www.server.com/forum/general and it will php-parse forum and pass /general as PATH_INFO. it's easy to get done as http://www.server.com/forum.php/general, but i would like to disclose the script name for reasons of obscurity. in fact, i would really like every request to be fed through something like /index.php, where the actual relative URI of the site is passed as PATH_INFO. so something of the form http://www.server.com/url/to/a/page would call /index.php with PATH_INFO=/url/to/a/page, and index.php could take care of whatever needs to be done to display that information. this can easily be done with a 404.php script, but i'd much rather do it transparently without this sort of abuse of the 404 feature. thanks, martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- "and no one sings me lullabies, and no one makes me close my eyes, and so i throw the windows wide, and call to you across the sky" -- pink floyd, 1971 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
