Actually here is the ful command:

A user tried to run that code on your server? Seems like an un-authorized access attempt,
try running this code and see what _START_'s value is:

Code: Select all

<?php
print_r(get_defined_constants());
?>

is this in a php file, text file, or a command that failed and you recorded it?

seems to me like some one is either being silly or doing a poor attempt and trying to understand your directory structure.
