Re: [PHP] Create .php file with php
You might also consider looking at variable variables and dynamic PHP (writing and evaluating php expressions on the fly). http://us.php.net/variables.variable http://us.php.net/eval Writing the PHP to a file could be a potential security vulnerability.

Thus, if his script is terminated before his code deletes the file, the engine will insure it's deleted. Otherwise, he should use an ignore_user_abort(). You're right, and good point about ignore_user_abort();. I'd actually never used that function before, but there are several places where I could (and probably should). The point I was making is that, unless the server is set up properly, as the files exist on the server, they'll be readable, clone-able, and possibly even executable. All a malicious user would need to do is watch the /tmp directory for files being written and immediately copy or read them. This doesn't take into account proper usage of suexec, correct chmod'ing of /tmp (and mounting, if you're like myself), et cetera, but keep in mind that not all (perhaps even most) hosting providers out there are one-man operations, and a gross majority of those are run by people with almost no knowledge of - or maybe concern for - best practices regarding their customer's security. -- Daniel P.

True, but on an unsecured box, this becomes possible, as Apache
will most likely be running universally as `nobody`, `httpd`,
`apache`, or `daemon` for all scripts, including all web-based scripts
writing to the /tmp directory. This includes session information,
temporary .php files (as Marius requested), et cetera.
Proof of concept:
?
if(is_dir('/tmp')) {
$handle = opendir('/tmp');
while(False !== ($ls_file = readdir($handle))) {
if(is_file('/tmp/'.$ls_file)) {
echo /tmp/.$ls_file.: \n;

I know that you said that you were able to write a file, but are
you using the correct parameters in your .php writes to create or
append to a file (as needed), and are the write permissions set
properly for the exact directory to which you're attempting to write?

I just do $fp = fopen('so_and_so.php', 'w+'); // the 'w+' is necessary
for creating files that do not exist and writing to them, just 'w'
requires the file to exist already.
fwrite($fp, ?php\n(code)\n?);
fclose($fp);
Also in my code editor, the closing php tag screws up the syntax
coloring but does not indicate a coding error, so
I do $close_tag = '?'.''; and in the fclose($fp,
?php\n(code)\n$close_tag ); and my editor will keep the syntax
coloring. (BBEdit)
