my site's using .php instead of index.html

Disaster on my site - it's using a .php file instead of the index.html file, and I can't see the .php file (via FTP or File Manager). It shows only a single pixel image.

Have I been hacked? Or did sending a photo to my blog last nite screw me up?

view source shows this:
<html>
<iframe src="http://www.<example>.com/index.php" width="0" height="0"></iframe>
</html>

but there's no <example> directory, nor any .php file I can see.

any help much appreciated, thx

Well actually, check the source your index.html file, as the .php file is just referenced in the iframe. If the source of your .html file matches that source and you didn't upload that, then yes you have a problem.
For starters the width and height are set to 0, hence you not seeing anything.

Is the domain that frame is pointing to your own?
Is your domain fully hosted, or was it a parked and redirected domain?

Thanks for the reply.

I sorted it, but still no idea what happened. I had no iframe in my index file, the page uses a simple table.

From what I understand, it's a fully hosted deal that I have control over.

I had 'permission denied' to access the page in a browser for a while (tho allowed into the control panel!), and spent some time playing around with permissions and indices. One setting in Index Manager kept returning to 'Fancy indexing (graphics)' each time I set it to Default System Setting - v. odd.

What worked, finally, was uninstalling Front Page extensions. But I'd never installed 'em, wouldn't touch 'em with a 10-foot pole, so dunno what happened there.

Still interested whether this is an Interservers error, something posting to my blog messed up (but the blog is fine, and in the right place) or if I was hacked. If I was, I want to change stuff but will leave it for now. Nothing there to hack really anyway.

Any tips appreciated, thx.
