I am seeing this error on front page of one of my website

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '< 

Some code has been hidden for security* but the source of that error is index.php. On examining my index.php i see a line of code referncing index_old.php. The code on the that file is as shown

<html> <head></head> <body> <?php $ip=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $logfilename1=dirname(__FILE__).'/htaccess.log'; $fp2=fopen($logfilename1,"a"); fwrite($fp2,$ip); fwrite($fp2," ".$_SERVER["SERVER_ADDR"]." ".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]); fwrite($fp2," ".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']); fwrite($fp2," ".strftime('%c')."\r\n"); fclose($fp2); ?> </body> </html> 

I am cracking my head to find out if the site has been infiltrated or injected with suspicious scripts. Could anyone help me figure out this?

A bunch of have have posted numerous answers on Joomla Stack Exchange about what to to in case of a site being hacked.

My suggestion first would be to delete the index_old.php file, then remove the reference to this file in the index.php.

Then have a read of these:

A quick summary:

  • Update Joomla to latest version (currently 3.5.1)
  • Update ALL extensions to their latest version
  • Change your password for the hosting control panel, FTP and Joomla super user
  • Ensure chmod permissions for is 755 for directories and 644 for files
