How to download *.php files from websites?

[hypeMarked]

Hi all, is there a way to get a php file from other websites instead of execute it? Thanks

Not if the server is setup properly. What an immense security hole that would be.

Hi hypeMarked, I feel bad for laughing... 🙂

Basically .php files are protected so that the visitor only sees plain HTML when they load a site. All php code is handled by the server, but never publicly accessible, unless you have a massive security hole on your server.

So, the answer to your question is FTP access. If you have FTP access to a website, then you can download the PHP files. Otherwise, no go.

Yeah. This is pretty straight-forward.

1) FTP into the server
2) Log in as the server admin
3) Browse to the directory containing the .php file
4) Download it

Haha, you guys are funny. Did I forget to mention that I'm new to website stuff? I think I did. I also forgot to reply to this message as well! Thanks all for the response and a good laugh 🙂
