what do you think of my site?

hello,

this is my 2nd or 3rd php site, its url is www.servfiles.com

it allows people to easily share files on the internet. i kind of made it for fun/practice. i used this site and another to learn php, my previous knowledge is small, pascal and java. php is the best imo.

let me know what you think!

thanks

On some of your pages, the right and left hand "border" is repeated. http://www.servfiles.com/login.php for example. Image attached.

The site seems functional enough. I had a little trouble uploading a document, but it worked the second time. May have been an issue on my end. Where are you actually storing the files?

what browser were you using? you're the first to mention it.

Sepodati: files are stored on server of course. cant say where and how obviously, so people dont skip the .php part of downloading them.

I'm using Mozilla.

As for the location, I don't need specifics. Was just curious if you were throwing everything in a database, storing it outside the webroot (RECOMENDED!), or using a little "security-through-obscurity" but still storing them under the webroot.

Yep... a Bad Idea (TM), too.

I tried the obvious /upload, /files, etc paths, but I didn't see anything. Access to /files was "restricted", so maybe that's it?

here's a hint for you "beta-testers", ahaha (sepodati)

files are not stored in mysql, but instead in a folder, but each file is scrambled, the only thing that links their real name to the outside world is the db. they are accessible, but only if you know the algorithm i incorporate, only this way can you skip the php part, but still wont be able to execute them as they have funky names and extensions.

i encourage all types of "testing", even now, as the site is like a day old, lol, so if someone does figure out a hole, be kind to let me know.
