 * This hack adds Morten Bojsen-Hansen’s excellent GPL File Manager “PhpFM” to WordPress
   1.2(sorry **1.2 only**). You can use it to upload/delete files, view images already
   uploaded, and make new folders from within WordPress. Give it a try and let me
   know what you think 🙂
    You can see a screenshot at [http://mudbomb.com](http://mudbomb.com)

 * How do I unpack an .rar file on a Windows machine?
    I also use cygwin if there’s
   a GNU command line utility to unpack .rar files.

 * Oops, I use RAR so much that I sometimes forget that ZIP is still the “web standard”
   🙂

 * After installing FileManager I do get the menu, but the page starts with these
   errors:
    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (
   output started at d:\…\wp-admin\admin-header.php:55) in d:\…\wp-admin\incl\header.

 * I commented out the /incl/header.inc.php lines as these would be handled by WP
   instead… Not sure how critical they are, they could be moved to the WP Header
   include, but it seems to work without them now…
    I am getting this error now 
   though, not sure if its an error or just a warning: Use of undefined constant
   SID – assumed ‘SID’ from Line 20 in /incl/header.inc.php Everything so far works
   besides that error message.

 * 1) the File Manager menu
    2) yes it is 3) no, although I did try out given options
   like the # $session_save_path = “C:/WINDOWS/Temp/”; but with no result

 * I tried this but got several errors on the include lines (could not open). The
   path to the includes begins with ./ which I’m not familiar with. Using Unix, 
   if the directory is one down should it contain a dot before the slash?

 * i’m getting a parse error *snip*/wp-admin/menu.php on line 28
    instead of the
   menu. any ideas? also my first post, glad to be here.

 * I figured out what caused the line 28 error in the menu.php – i was editing the
   file in cPanel and not through WordPress so i hadn’t noticed the permissions 
   were not set to 666. now i have the problem above. 🙂

 * Works great now… BTW after edditing the files before, it worked fine… This now
   removes the warning SID line, and I’m sure gives some sort of additional support…
