I uninstalled and reinstall the snort package. Its still not clearing the log. I dont get a blank page anymore. Just refreshes the page when i click clear

Hello, my first post here so hope its helpful. Not seeing the fix when i uninstall and reinstall. The Clear button seems to be getting with the variable name action and value clear, rather than the variable being clear. Also there seems to be an s missing from file_put_contents.
Both of the following options fixed this for me, Not sure which is the best option although I think option 1 looks more in keeping with the rest of the code.

OPTION 1
--------

88c88,89
< if ($_GET['clear'])
---

if ($_POST['clear'])

93c94
< @file_put_content("/var/log/snort/alert", "");
---

@file_put_contents("/var/log/snort/alert", "");

306c307
< log files will be saved. <a href="/snort/snort_alerts.php?action=clear"><input name="delete" type="button"
---

log files will be saved. <input name="clear" type="submit"

308c309
< onclick="return confirm('Do you really want to remove all your logs ? All snort rule interfces may have to be restarted.')"></a>
---

onclick="return confirm('Do you really want to remove all your logs ? All snort rule interfces may have to be restarted.')">

OR OPTION 2
-----------

88c88
< if ($_GET['clear'])
---

if ($_GET['action'] == 'clear')

93c93
< @file_put_content("/var/log/snort/alert", "");
---

@file_put_contents("/var/log/snort/alert", "");

I've confirmed that option 1 works on my box also.. Thanks Leon Topliss
