NOTE: This is a project being posted by Rent a Coder, and for Rent a Coder.
To protect you as a coder and prevent a conflict of interest, I am waiving
my rights to arbitration as described in your Seller Contract "When Exhedra is a bidder".
*****************************************************************
This is an easy project for someone with even moderate experience in PHP on Linux that should not take very long to do.
Basically I need a PHP script/page that will allow the Rent a Coder moderators to make sure the party hosting a site during arbitration is not cheating by changing the files as testing proceeds. So your code will be helping the honest users of Rent a Coder as well.
A) The script will crawl the Linux file system of the directory the script is in (as well as all subdirectories...recursively so that it gets every one of them). It will then produce the following report of the files it found:
1) File Name: self explanatory. Should include directory as well
2) Linux file size: self explanatory.
3) MD5 File Checksum: run the MD5 algorithim on the file contents to produce this number
4) # of lines: # of lines in file (defined in Linux as terminated with Ascii 10)
5) Windows File size: calculated by: "# of lines" + "Linux file size". If you're curious, Windows adds an extra Ascii 13 to each line, so we're figuring out what the size in Windows would be to allow comparison between the file and the same file if on Windows.
B) Directory report: Then the script will produce a directory report of the directory the script is in and all lower directories (recursively crawled).
1) Directory Name: self explanatory
2) MD5 Directory Checksum: run the MD5 algorithim on the file contents of all items in the folder. If the size of the files contents might cause a preformance issue with running MD5 on them, then MD5ing just the MD5 checksums created in A) above is fine too.
C) Grand total report: Final report produced by the script:
1) MD5 Grand Total Checksum: run the MD5 algorithim on the file contents of all items and in every directory...including the lower directories recursively crawled. If the size of the files contents might cause a preformance issue with running MD5 on them, then MD5ing just the MD5 checksums created in B) above is fine too.
Platform:
PHP and Linux
Deliverables:
Since I waive arbitration, I propose that you create the script and host it completely on your own server at first. After I approve it as 100% working I will then release 50% to you. You will then upload the deliverables to the site and I will verify them and then release the final 50% to you.
Good luck in your bidding!

2) Exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.
Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
