It was necessary post post web server's logs by doing
tail -f '/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log'

so to display the error message i got.

Also i never claimed i was a professional coder, i am an amateur at a 
beginner level and i do it out of hobby.

I could have designed my website in a CMS( wordpress, joomla) but i like 
programming and wanted to design and learn to code at the same time.

Since i'm an idiot as you call me try to hack it yourself since you are 
so smart.

And i don;t think it was an sql injection by the way.
It was just a manipulation of the 'page' variable my script is using.
Hacker was able to pass bogus info to that variable.

I believe he passed values to var 'page' via URL like

http://superhost.gr/?page='
