 * Hi,
 * I have two websites that show the following rather than displaying the site:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /data/1/0/110/101/110101/user/111612/
   htdocs/blog2/index.php on line 18
 * I have no idea why, but I read through the forum that I may have been hacked.
   Any ideas?

 * Thanks!
