Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end ...

[lilylily]

Hi,

 

I've been using oscommerce(version 2.2 RC2) for a while. This site was working well. But one day I found the website can not be shown properly. The error I got is that 'Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end .....index.php on line 340'. But I didn't do any changes before that. And my anti virus program detected virus when I opened an account page.

 

I just simply replaced all files with my backup. It seemed fine for a while. But I got same problem today. I suspected there must be some security problems with oscommerce. Is there anybody who had same problem? Can anybody tell me what may cause it? How should I do? Thanks very much!

unexpected $end usually means you havn't closed an open bracket ... paste your index.php file here if you cant find the solution

But index.php works fine all the time. And the thing is that I didn't change this file at all. The error just suddenly appeared. And after I replace it with my backup file which is the total same, it works well again. It didn't just happen to index.php, all php files have same error message. It seems very usual.

And anti-virus program reported warning. I can't figure it out why

If your files get changed without you doing it, and your anit-virus complains when you visit your site, either the server is hacked, your site is hacked - or both.

 

One sure-fire way to get hacked is to have a web accessible folder with 777 permissions.

Hi, Thanks very much for your reply. I guess you must be right. But how can I prevent it happening again? I checked the whole site, but I can't find any fold with 777 permissions. The problem is still there, and I'm sure the same thing will happen again in future.
