I recently came across a script that was oddly encoded. A bit of digging revealed it was encoded in octal. What puzzles me is why the php interpreter is able to understand the script. An example (not from the original script) require_once "../file.php"; require_once "\56\56\57\146\151\154\145\56\160\150\160"; Arno -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
