Could use some programming clarification - GoFuckYourself.com

mmcfadden · 07-15-2009, 10:34 AM

I have been working with a designer and his programmer with great pain and the programming work provided to me just isn't working.

His (the designer's) latest request is this...

"My coder said he wants cmd line access to check things out.
Said it might be a php security thing...
I don't know jack about server stuff so don't ask me what it might be lol"

What is he asking for? Its a godaddy hosting account which he has had ftp access to and MYSql login information.

TIA

he can get all necessary info from phpinfo();
and anything else via the odd script or two. It's a pain for some things, but I've never been stuck because I didn't have shell (cmd line) access - all can be done with scripts.

if you want to give me specifics over IM what he's trying to do I'll tell you whether he can *only* do it from the shell, but I doubt it...

In your godaddy control panel you can give a user SSH access.
At least I think godaddy can do that.

sounds to me like he needs to change a setting in the php.ini to make his code work (which is poor coding) most likely something to do with register_globals or allow_url_fopen

That is what it sounds like.

What version PHP is this?

www.php.net/ini_set done. No shell access needed.

Nice to see he's on the case.

Send me his code and I'll review it for you ;) Please remove any and all passwords and sensitive information before you do though.

I can at least tell you what you're paying for :P
