 * My site was working perfectly the other day, but now when it just says
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /home/juzz1983/public_html/pyxism-
   review.com/index.php on line 18
 * I googled the error and found another topic where someone had a similar error
   and he was actually hacked…
 * Im not sure what info i should give you but on that other topic they asked for
   his index.php code so I will just post that.
 * Please please help, i have no idea whats going on and very worried!
 * Thanks
