Its all a bit beyond me !!! and thats the truth.

Its my sons site, and he has done all hard coding. My limits stretch to setting up mysql, basic php, and file permissions.

Regarding apache/httpd etc its a tad beyond my knowledge and comfort zone.

.... will post back the info ASAP thankyou

Stupid question - have you checked your home PC's for a keylogger? Is your site secure against cross-site scripting? Has the perp installed some sort of dial home scripting via a MySQL injection?

Does your site use plesk or cpanel? Most panels have a way of viewing last 300 or so visotors, and a way of viewing error logs and server logs. You could d/l the log and run a grep on it (google if you don't know wtf I mean) and see if there's patterns in the way your site is accessed. PHP scripts are usually written (when written properly) to be only accessed in a certain way or from a certain file beforehand. Pretty much like this.

Code:

if( !defined( 'proper_page' ) )

        die( "bugger off, you hax0r!" );

Good luck with it.
