 *  Merge  to PHP where it can mention that PHP, in addition to being a server-side scripting langauge, can be called from the command line, can be used to create native GUI applications, and can be used for shell scripting. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete without merge as a non-notable fork of a piece of software which we don't have an article on (r57shell). This isn't a shell script (the article is incorrect in this regard); it's a dynamically generated web page (like most other PHP applications) that can be used to execute commands on a web server. I'm surprised, though, that we don't have an article which describes r57shell, c99shell, or their ilk. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 02:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Zetawoof. This is essentially a web script written in PHP.  Not notable and not appropriate for a merge to PHP. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  00:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. First off, there's no reliable sources that talk about it.  Second, about half of the Google hits I found have been taken down and give me a 404 error when I try to look at them.  Third, most of the OTHER sources I found weren't even in English (I know, I shouldn't be using that as an argument, but when there's no sources in English, that kinda says something against its notability).  Fourth, the websites that were in English that hadn't been taken down made it look like this was a security hack to be used on a compromised web server -- in fact, the article on linux.com that's linked to in the article has comments posted on it to the effect of "this is the worst idea ever!  Why would you install something like this on your web server??".  Fifth, the sources that the article lists don't even use the term "HMBr57" in them -- they talk about "PHP Shell" instead, which is written by Martin Geisler, NOT Hosam Badreldin.  So, in conclusion, I'd say that my best argument in favor of deleting this is that both it and its author both fail the notability test.  Anything else and I'd just be rambling on.

 * Most of the current search results for "hmbr57" are, in fact, Middle Eastern web boards which got hacked and had this script installed on them. A few of them even haven't been fixed yet. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 03:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
