Any PHP only exists on the web server, all a browser can see is the generated HTML, so this is what you see if you use the web browser's View Source option. As explained in [[PHP]] article not showing PHP has security advantages protecting content that might include stuff you don't want the public to see and preventing unauthorised changing of the script file. (Javascript files can be seen normally and most browsers provide an option to edit them). | |||
Some authors when writing a script using PHP do include a downloading option at the start of the script before any other output. These downloaders allow you to see the actual PHP script. Unfortunately, there is no rule on how you invoke this downloader. I tried hard to get standardisation; see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16425 Source Listing suggestion] in the forum. Another problem my suggestion addressed was the possibility that a web page includes multiple PHP scripts, and the downloader may list a different one to that you wanted to see. | |||
Here are some querystrings you might try, in the brandon script download the PHP by appending the querystring <tt>?source=view</tt> to the end of the URL. Other templates might expect you to add the querystring <tt>?parse=source</tt>, <tt>download=source</tt>, <tt>sce=view</tt>, or reversing the first idea <tt>?view=source</tt>. There are several other variants including <tt>"?view=getorfmiland</tt>. | |||
