Just wanting to ask if any brave souls might be willing to give this a try and see if they can find any problems with it, or might have any suggestions for it. 
The last release down at the bottom of the page:

Cheers,
Matt
Just another quick question if I might. What would be the standard/preferred permissions to create upload files and directories with?
Cheers,
Matt
This is what I am currently using and all it does is show the error message.
$result = $db->query('SELECT contactban FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE id='.$cur_user['user_id']) or error('Unable to select from database', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
There is no contactban value in the database:

To be honest, I think that would be worse, and you'd be rescanning files you already scanned. Unless of course you make it note new files and only scan those, but I still would think scanning at all is overkill.
A quick ctime check would sort that. An extra bit of caution never hurts, even though the server itself is running a proper OS, some, (most), of the client machines won't be.
i dont actually want the news generator though
No, but you could try reading the code and adapting it.
If you're sure you've created the config.php file correctly in your root forum dir, then I'd say check permissions on the file.
Cheers. 
I thought it might be a bit of overkill, but thought it best to ask.
Wasn't sure which section to ask this in, so apologies if it's in the wrong section.
Question: Is it worthwhile putting in an exec call to run an AV scanner on uploaded images in the upload script, or is it not worth the hassle. Or, are images not an issue, as such?
Cheers,
Matt
Okay. Now I'm a really happy chappy. Thanks ever so much to you both for your help and advice. I've got a basic working setup. Thanks ever so much.
Thanks. I think I might now have enough of a basic idea to be script dangerous. I should now be able to use trial and error to get my thoughts going down the right lines. Cheers once again.
Matt
One note before I start: $HTTP_POST_VARS is deprecated, you should use the $_POST superglobal instead
Thanks for that. I'll make sure I use that method.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, $_POST (and all the superglobals) are simply arrays with the keys being the parameters passed. So here for example, if my URL is http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=91477, $_GET will contain one element, pid, with a value of 91477.
Apologies if I'm appearing a bit vague with my questions. Between trying to master the basics of both php and html, I am going into that mindstate of no return. What I was meaning to ask, working on your example above, is that if one wishes to pass more parameters, is the question mark the common seperator between all arguments/parameters passed? For example, would the following be correct format to use to pass multiple arguments:

BTW, thanks ever so much to you all for your help and patience.

You will indeed have to submit the files to be removed to an external file. And yes, unlink() is the correct function.
Cheers. The penny is finally beginning to drop with how to go about things now. One last question if I may. The HTTP_POST_VARS bit. Is there any documentation on the site regarding them, and the syntax that should be utilised with them, or is it a case of trying to figure it out from the various scripts?
Thanks once again,
Matt
1. rm is not a PHP function
Oops. Old habits die hard. Unlink is the one I have in there. That is the correct equivalent of rm, is it not?
2. button should be input
Cheers.
3. PHP is done server side, so you need the user to submit a form with all the data
Mind if I ask one more question on this bit? Do I take the php section out and supply the filenames to another script? Something along the lines of:
<form method=\"post\" action=\"page.php?subpage=\"delete\"?".$file1.",".$file2."\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\" onclick=\"submit\"/></input></form>
Or can the deletion bit actually be called from within that section above? Apologies for what may appear to be obviously simple questions. I'm just having a tad of a problem getting my head around this bit.
p.s: Is there a good online resource for html scripting/writing information and tutorials?
Thanks ever so much once again,
Matt
Only if you're using MySQL.
Banging my head against the wall with this one. How might one go about implementing something along the lines of the following concept? I know even less of html than I do php, so not a good combination.
<button type=\"submit\" value=\"delete\" onclick=\"<?php rm (".$file1.", ".$file2."); ?>\">Delete</button>
Thanks in advance,
Matt
What's one of the stickies say at the top of this forum?
What was it that was supposed to be CHMOD 0777?
The avatar directory.
Look for the line in register.php: // Add the user
The database update is below there.
ps is there a way to keep my forum private so only users on the forum can read the posts? and can I make so that its an invitation only forum? ds
You can do that from the admin panel.
Scrub that question. Just grepped and found which method is preferred/used.
Which of these two would be the preferred, (if either), method of selecting guest users access permissions?
&& !$pun_user['is_guest']
or
&& $pun_user['g_id'] != '3'
Cheers.

The javascript triggers mod is by far the easiest to use for youtube/google, however. No quoting at all required, and works a treat.
Firstly, top mod Koos.
Secondly, I think the format for adding text after the image is:
[url][img][img]"Type your text here"[url].
You may have to experiment and double check though.
Edit: Matt, I'm guessing he had a newline that trimmed off when he posted it.
Oops. Never thought of that.
The braces enclose a command. They should be paired. {Start of......End of}. Even by deleting that last brace which is serving no purpose, you're still three }'s short in that script. Also, the error says line 1051? That script, as posted, is 1050 lines long.
