[wp-hackers] Path of wp-config.php in auth.php

[Stephen O'Connor]

I replied to this once already, but it doesn't seem to have sent. If you get this twice, forgive me...

Anyway, here's my php code for that path problem. You would think they do because of all their output buffering tricks and such... but nope.

__________PHP CODE___________

// I'm assuming this is for the root dir only...
// if you need more, we'll work that out later

// get the file data...
$file_data = implode('', file(ABSPATH."wp-admin/auth.php"));

// then change what you need to.
$file_data = str_replace("require_once('../wp-config.php');", "require_once('wp-config.php');", $file_data);

// make a temp file
$tmpfile = tempnam("/tmp", "php");
$fp = fopen($tmpfile, "w");

// write to the temp file
fwrite($fp, $file_data);
fclose($fp);

// include your new temp file
require( $tmpfile );

// and delete it
unlink( $tmpfile );

__________END PHP CODE___________

It might take a little tweaking to get just right, but I think it will work.
