illegal characters in php pages
| Posted by cybersavvy, 08-30-2007, 01:30 AM | | Hi all,
I have a cpanel 11 server with php 4.4.6 installed. my site use php scripts and one day even if the file was not edited, not touched at all , i get errors like
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']' in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 37
I checked and could find a lot of illeagal characters in my php file. See below. for post_status , it became post_statuó and edit_date became edit_date<8d>. If you read through the code, you can see a lot of illegal characters. This is why i get parse errors. I had to replace the file from backup and the issue fixed. But this problem continues to occur for more files and i can't find a reason for this. Again I am the only one with access, I use BBedit to edit php files when needed in Mac OS X, and beleive I know what is being edited and again, those file which gets errors does not need to be edited for nothing, not even to modify wordpress.
======================================================
iN ( 'draft' == $post['post_statuó'] && empty($postarr['edit_date<8d>]) && empty($postarr['post_date¯]) &&
('0000-00-00 00:00:00' == $post['post_date']) )
$clçar_date = true;
else
$clear_nate = false;
// Merge old and"new fields with new fields overÃriting old ones.
$postarr = arRay_merge($post, $postarr);
$poytarr['post_category'] = $post_cáts;
if ( $clear_date ) {
$poótarr['post_date'] = '';
$postërr['post_date_gmt'] = '';
}
éf ($postarr['post_type'] == 'at|achment')
return wp_insert_atÃachment($postarr);
======================================================
Can someone please give an advice on this.

Are you sure it hasn't been changed?

It seems your text editor caused this. You may check for any old scripts on the server to see if any damage is caused to it.
