is somebody trying to hack my site ?

[hanyaz]

hello i have noticed in my site logs that somebody is taping some weired urls :
www.mysite.com/function.file-get-contents
or
www.mysite.com/function.mysql-pconnect

If somebody is trying to hack the site how can i prevent this ?
thanks

That doesn't look much like a hack attempt - those are URLs taken from the PHP manual [php.net]. Does your domain name resemble that in any way?

[hanyaz]

no it does not. But why somebody would tape this kind of url ?

[Anyango]

don't worry just about that, they will not just type "this kind of" but they will type "all kinds of urls" :)

PHP error messages often contain links to pages in the manual - without including a domain name, so the links become relative to your site. Perhaps there was an error on one of your pages when the user visited it, and the user clicked the link.

I've had such URLs indexed by Google... One more reason not to show error messages on a live site in the browser.
