Yes, that's what I meant.  It should also have syntax highlighting, well maybe your server doesn't have that enabled or something, but mine does. It makes it really easy to debug scripts and such, you'll never find a missing " faster. |

*tries it*
Hmm, it's the same as renaming it to .txt, I see the source as plain text and the code itself doesn't even run ... or is that just what you meant?  |

If you save the the PHP files as .phps then you CAN see the source, it'll even have syntax highlighting and such.  |

Actually, IIS has an option to give the client the ASP source as well as the parsed file. But, of course, it's disabled by default.
Yes, JavaScript is client side. |

Javascript, on the other hand, is client side, I think. You can see that source code. But PHP is just fine and dandy.
Always remember, when you code open source, you code communism. A message from your friends at Microsoft. |

Or unless the PHP code doesn't run and the .php comes up as plain text like a .txt
But yeah, it'd simply be too much of a security risk if you could view the source of any PHP, ASP, etc. on any site |

But the point is no, there's no (known) way to view a PHP file's source short of downloading it from a non-http source. |

The Web server does not parse the PHP file. PHP's executable creates an extension to the server, so if the server gets a request for a .php, .phps, .php3, or .html file, it sends the file over to the PHP parser to execute it. The parser sends the results to the Web server, and then sends the results to the client. Partially why you can save bandwidth if you instruct PHP to GZip the output.
You can, if the server's on Apache, set up a .htaccess file to prevent the parsing of PHP, for specific extensions, or all at once. |

PHP is Executed by the Web server before any output is given.....
the code you see in View Source is nothing but the HTML the PHP tells the browser to output....
the only way to view the acutal PHP code is to get the actual PHP file.... |

But PHP code definatly won't show if you view source. Imagine all the security problems that would cause
yeah right. the webserver gets a request to a php file. he sends it to the php interpreter or the php module. this sends back the output(html,image,...) to the webserver. the webserver sends it to the client. |

If I open source (IE) when in a php app, will it show the php code? |
