Onetime Messaging System

A uber lightweight one time message submission system for php. Great for sending passwords securely. Yes, another one.

• No database required! (Flat files are used)

• This project doesn't require composer or use autoloaders. It's old school and small.

• Messages expire after a period of time

• All messages are deleted, the contents are never kept once they're read.

• No records of deleted messages are stored except (optionally):

  • The ID of the message
  • The IP of the person who read the message (for security validation requests)
  • The time the message expired or was read

• If password protection is used and the password is incorrect a number of times, the message is also deleted.

Requirements

• PHP (5 or 7+)
• Apache or similar
• php mail set up and configured
• php mcrypt. (Note that mcrypt itself isn't used as it's now considered legacy)
• A fresh subdomain. The .htaccess doesn't play well in sub diretories.

Installation

It's assumed you'll want the messages stored outside the publc folder of your webserver. If you can't do that, then this project probably isn't for you!

• Download/clone the repo.
• Copy/rename private/includes/config.sample.php to private/includes/config.php and edit a couple of settings.
• If your private folder isn't beside your public_html, you'll need to edit index.php and change OT_SRC_PATH to point to the correct location.
• Profit!
