*Basic 23* only need a tad of help

Thank you for reading this thread first of all.

I have looked into this challenge and researched RFI. By what I understand its that it's main goal is to load remote scripts onto the server but the problem is any thing I try like a basic uploader fails and HBH tells me I am on the right track.

How am I meant to RFI in this case, is the challenge broken?

you need to upload a shell to the web, and use the RFI to execute it.

a shell doing what?

EDIT I have pointed it to a script now that reads directory data, auto uploads files. But nothing works…

just a simple one that

1. gets a command [edit] as in POST/GET [/edit]
2. executes it

google up on php shells. mine was only a few lines of code. its nothing complicated.

so close?

I am using markup<?php echo $_REQUEST["number"]; ?>

the problem is I don't think it likes ********=x.php?=

any help?

[Spoiler -_-]

Fixed.

Now any help?
