About the Footer Script

…continue from page 1

The script is not encrypted. You can study to confirm that my script is safe to use. However, you are not allowed to modify the script without my approval.

Now I’ll explain the structure of the script:

1. Only your home page will check my server at an interval of about 6 hours.
2. If time out (eg. our server is down), the checking will be extended after 6 hours. This means that the script will check my server maximum 4 times/day
3. The script will send the 5 items below to my server and save them in my database.
   - blog home url
   - blog title
   - theme id
   - theme version
   - theme name
4. I am using the Wordpress inner function, fetch_rss() to retrieve and parse the RSS feed from my server.
5. The script will calculate the number of text links being displayed and limit the number to maximum of 3 only.

Script explanation (to ensure the script is safe):

1. $post_variables = array(… );
   Data passes to my server, you can see that it sends only blog url, title, the theme ID, ver and name. No other information are passed.
2. $links=strip_tags($links,”<a>”);
   This is double confirm to make sure that only text and links are allowed. Other tags like <p><script><iframe> will be removed.
3. $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 3);
   To ensure that maximum of 3 links are allowed.
