Finding the starting PHP script
-
I have to analyze a system written in php. I am a .NET programmer. I will be emulating the php system. I have been given a tar dump of the directory. After decompression I need to find the starting php script. What should I be looking for? I have many php scripts, but it feels like a haystack. Can someone tell me what the starting needle name should be?? Thanks in advance... Chuck..

Luc, Nice article. The problem is not recognising the PHP code or being able to read the code. The problem is that I have several hundred PHP files. Which one is the first? That starts the app running. From there I and untangle the ball of string I have for years. Where is the beginning?

No. In a web application, the default file in a folder is index.php, that is what gets served to a client when accessed by a browser. You can create any filename.php you like and execute it locally by using a command line that fits your PHP platform and refers to the source file. And there are ways to compile a bunch of PHP files into a single EXE, haven't done that yet. :)
