How do I DL a PHP script?

[Sukhoi]

I'd like to DL the actual script, not the HTML page it generates, so View -> Source is out. Any ideas?

i think it's impossible, unless you can gain access to the server (or the person who owns it does something to allow it)

of course, if it's say... open source, free script... then you can usually go the vendor's site and they have it to download.

email the webmaster and ask him for it.

No, it's a University script that tells us how much bandwidth we've used and our room/phone #s. I can't figure out how to get any IP into the script other than the one I have assigned (I've already tried spoofing the host and referer and it does nothing). I want to check the other IPs so I can go talk to the people that have viruses running rampant that are trying to hack my computer.

One of the biggest advantages of PHP is ppl cannot view the underlying code... this will allow the programmer to put passwords to their databases and other sensitive information right into their PHP code and be safe about it...

yea what he said (although is that an advantage? isn't that true for any server side scripting language?)

maybe you should talk to your university's security team? i know that the security team here will handle such things.

You make it sound as if this is a strength of PHP which CGI under Perl, mod_perl, ASP, JSP or even CFM don't have. EVERY server side language does this.

You'll have to ask for the source code, Sukhoi.
