Script URL:
http://www.darksword-armory.com/linkman/links.php
Version of script: 1.7
Hosting company: ipowerweb.com
URL of phpinfo.php: ??
URL of session_test.php: ??
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: link virus, deleting links, links not appearing,
Write your message below:
I have been informed by my hosting company that recently, a link was placed by site that contains malware and/or viruses. I logged into my linkman admin panel, but it only shows 4 links under 'existing links' (although I have over 5,000 links). I used the scroll down menu in the admin panel and selected 'show all links', but it only shows the same four links.
How can I access all the links in order to delete the links that were created the last few days ?
Thank you for your help !

I only see 4 links on your Linkman page:

You probably have 5000 links in some other script?

Thank you for your response,
No, all the links were created with the php program.
There are about 5000 links.
You can see the links at the following page, just scroll below the splash page.

These links do not appear on my admin panel however. I can only see the last 4 links that were created, even when I select 'view all links' in the scroll down menu.
Any ideas ?
thank you,

The "Link_Directory.php" page is not part of Linkman from the PHPJunkyard, it is some other script. You will need to find out what script exactly you are using and check with the provider of the script.

Hi,
I have contacted our web administrator. They informed us that they used linkman to create the php page. They have not used any other script. Any thoughts on how I can get this resolved ?

Well Link_Directory.php is definitely not part of LinkMan (neither by name or by how it behaves) - I know, i wrote the script.
Your best bet would probably be to hire a programmer to look into your website structure, I can recommend posting a project to

My 2 cents, Just so this guy knows not only is that page not part of the script as you said, let me note 5000 links is a lot of links way too many ... this script is txt flatfile based and can't really safely handle mass amounts of data like that, for that you would need a MYSQL based script.
So lets just say you did do that with LinkMan you would surely cause corruption in the flatfile DB.
So my guess is if you have 5000 links or more the admin used a MYSQL DB ...
I have coded scripts that can support hundreds of thousands of data entries and I can tell you this, they are not flatfile txt db based.
