Hello All,
Starting yesterday, something funny has started happening to our server. Special characters are getting added in PHP files and hence the apache fails while parsing the page.
Can anybody point me in the right direction about why should this happen / who could be causing this / how do I rectify this.
This is a real cause of concern as we rectify the PHP file by removing the randonly inserted special characters and the special charatcer gets added elsewhere on the same page. It also does not restrict to a particular page. It randomly picks a file and adds such special characters.
Also, sometimes instead of "adding" a special character, it replaces an existing character with another randomly.
Could this be a virus of some sort?
We are running on a RedHat Linux 8 machine with apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.3.3 (we recently upgraded to 4.3.3 from 4.2.2).
Thanks for all your help.
Regards.
