simple google and yahoo site verification plugins

[enliven]

Nope. Still can't get it to work.
But in the meantime I wrote this.
Others might not like the messy touch and file_get_contents business but i'm very new to xml and haven't learned how to it with getsimple plugins yet
In the meantime, the works fine for me.
Use and share if you want

Code:

<?php
$thisfile=basename(__FILE__, ".php");
register_plugin(
    $thisfile,
    'Google Verification',
    '',
    '',
    '',
    '',
    'plugins',
    'veri_admin'
);
add_action('theme-header','google_verification');
add_action('plugins-sidebar','createSideMenu',array($thisfile,'Google Verification'));
function google_verification() {
    if (file_exists("./data/other/google-veri.cfg")) {
        if (file_get_contents("./data/other/google-veri.cfg") != "") {
            echo '<meta name="google-site-verification" content="'.file_get_contents("./data/other/google-veri.cfg").'" />'."\n"; }}}
function veri_admin() {
    if (!file_exists("../data")) { echo "Sorry, I couldn't find your /data directory"; }
    else if (!file_exists("../data/other")) { echo "Sorry, I couldn't find your /data/other directory"; }
    else if (!file_exists("../data/other/google-veri.cfg")) { touch("../data/other/google-veri.cfg"); }
    if (file_exists("../data/other/google-veri.cfg")) {
        if (isset($_POST['save_veri'])) {
            if (!file_put_contents("../data/other/google-veri.cfg",$_POST['veri_code'])) {
                $open = fopen("../data/other/google-veri.cfg","w");
                fwrite($open,$_POST['veri_code']);
                fclose($open); }}
    ?>
<form method='post' action='load.php?id=verification'>
