Hi,

I'm sure you all know you can view the source of html file by click view=>source in MS Internet Explorer, however,if you can find out how you can view the source of php files, thats 90NP to you.

"Regards,
Snare

Source of php files?
I am sure it is not possible
Thats what server side programming languages like PHP/ASP do..Hiding the code
Did I misunderstood your question?

snareklutz · 01-13-2005, 01:50 AM

No, you didn't misunderstand my question.

Stealing peoples source code is just wrong, html or otherwise...

Then I am sure it is not possible without hacking into the server

Tippy,

If I see a good bit of design I like to look at the code to see how they did it. If I then want to have a go at doing the same thing myself then I will usually take a code snipet and insert it into my own page. This is not stealing since the HTML/CSS tags themselves are not copywrite. If I use a big lump of code then all you need do is insert a remark in the cose accrediting the author.

It is not wrong any more than using a joke out of a joke book is wrong. What is wrong is plagarising the whole site and passing it off as your own.

Simon i don't really think this is possbile =\ oh well..

Lol, it's impossible. That's why people encrypt passwords in PHP files (database coding) - because they know that no-one can see the code.

You see, what a PHP file does, is send the file to the server, the browser processes it and then the result is output via the browser. However, the actual PHP code is never seen, only the output coding (HTML) can be viewed.

Think that's the way it works...

Only way to view a php file is from FTP, can't view it on the web.

sunken · 01-17-2005, 09:41 AM

The browser is never sent the PHP source code, therefore there is no way that it can view it in the browser. The PHP is interpreted by the web server and then sent as HTML. The only way as has been said is to have access to that server. People encode PHP mostly so that when you get a script, you can't duplicate parts of it or modify it. It's not to keep people from seeing it in their browser. You can view the source on a PHP page, but it shows you the interpreted result, not the source.

Sorry...
