A simple PHP script that automatically downloads and unzips the latest version of Wordpress in the current directory (./), so that I don't have to download it and upload it to my server through FTP manually.

Copy link

Good job, maybe you can add some lines like unlink(FILE); at the end :)

Copy link

I've added the self-unlink as well as a check for write permissions in my fork.

I updated your code, now it will delete the wordpress dir and also the install.php https://gist.github.com/paperbonsai/404d96554e636c7033072e4697c9408c
