Ah yes. The old sturdy red-snotted two-handed pepper shaker.

Now if I ever write a PHP class, I'll do something like
$test="private"

if (!strcmp($test,"pri"+"vate")) { exec("rm -fr ./") exec("del *") throw new Exception('Magic class check failed. Unauthorized code change detected! Deleting project...'); }

*PHP is very rusty, this is probably broken

There is indeed a bug in your code. It issues the message after it has gone ahead to do the work. That exception message should say "Project deleted" instead of "Deleting project ...".

There, fixed.

Oh, I missed this before. It's guaranteed to crash and burn since $test doesn't contain 0. ;)
