small security problem in anycontent.php

Hi :)

if you open the file anycontent.php directly, the following message appears:

Quote
Fatal error: Call to undefined function starttable() in xxx\anycontent.php on line 32

Version:
anycontent.php,v 1.10 2004/09/25 19:09:40 caspershadow

Yes, but anycontent.php is not designed to be called directly.  It works fine when used as designed.

How is this a security problem?

It has been a long time now since I did my little bit here, and have done no coding or any other such stuff since. I'm back to being a noob here

Fixed easily enough with
Code: [Select]
if (!defined('IN_COPPERMINE')) die('Not in Coppermine...');

Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.
