Code:

<?php
//wtf.php

unlink('wtf.php');
?>

shouldn't it not be able to do that to itself?

Not really, as it's in memory.

You can delete the whole OS of a UNIX/Linux system and it will continue to run until you try to reboot it. Actually, when I worked for the ITS dept. at my college, there was an ancient AIX box that no one had rebooted in over six years that had just that happen to it. Somewhere along the way, someone had removed the OS to make room on the disk.

Zactly VS. The file wtf.php is not running from the disk image, it was loaded, compiled and is running inside the PHP interpreter instance.

i wrote a very simple memory resident remote administration utility for servers with php a while back using this... simple and effective if done right..

Heh ... Memory resident ... server "administrator" ... no file as evidence backup ...

Totally get it
