Hi,
Well, when using, php apps, its common to find flaws related to what
is called LFI (Local File Inclusion), there are a lot of cases in
phpmyadmin, mambo, joomla, so on, also if you have your own
applications written in php you should try to avoid this.
There are a lot of flaws related to PHP, and as i mentioned if you
have LFI bugs, its almost a fact that your site will be hacked.
Try to see in your error_log from apache if there is php code inserted
into it. its common to insert things like <?
stripslashes(passthru($cmd)) ?> to bypass magic_quotes_gpc
But, the best thing to do is to analyze your sites with some tools
like Acunetix, nikto, code review and patch all bugs founded.
Hope this helps.
