What do you mean it's a PHP injection? PHP is all on the server, and the
only way to get at that if you don't have direct access to the server
(which you've said isn't possible as the passwords, etc are all fine)
then the bad data is coming from either a form or another area where
user data is expected. This data might be as simple as unsanitised URL
variables that are intended to fetch a blog entry, to form data sent in
a registration page.

All data coming from the user is bad until proven otherwise.
