How to get source code of PHP page

For example, there is a webpage: http://www.abc.com/index.php

Then how can I get the Source of this page...I know PHP is server side script ...so it might not be possible...I just want some method to do it....Please give your ideas and suggessions..Thanks

 

well the source code can be viewed in firefox easily,
view-page source

im not sure if thats why you mean and just press CTRL+U

 

PHP will rely in includes from various other pages and therefore you cannot take the script and allow it to function correctly. This is secure and how PHP has always been.

 

Yes PHP codes can't be downloadd using the browser only when using FTP or script that provides direct access to the server

 

Learn PHP and build something like it. There is no way to take the php source code.

 

PHP will Analysis to html ,It is impossible

 

PHP Source code cant be revealed only html output will be displayed

 

sure

otherwise it will be so easy to hack any php website

 

It's totally impossible remotely. Give up and try something else.

Php is server-side, So the server runs the script, Its not viewable on your browser.

 

i think he interested with certain page / tool and want to make it on his own site

 

Would be very insecure in they did allow this, anyone could just copy anyones script without them knowing and run the exact same site. Luckily it isn't like that.

 

i think it is impossible unless you have ftp access

 

It's possible.
Simply ask the owner of the site for the source code. Now depends on the owner of the site.

 

Here's how to get equivalent source:

1. spend many weeks and money learning PHP and how to code
2. spend many weeks doing some actual hard work (gasp! no, not WORK you say)
3. design it, code it, test it, update it, retest it...
4. stop being a weasel and trying to steal other people's work

 

what the guy above said

 

PHP is a server side language, it produce html pages. then how could it be possible?
the only way is to get t through FTP, if you have so..
or else you cant steal it, otherwise everybody could get all those premium paid scripts from their demos.

 

If this is possible then no one will use PHP. Also many people store the database details in PHP file itself. So if above mentioned is possible that one can easily hack others' databases.

Since its a server side thing its not possible

 

The only possible way would be to get ftp access to the site OR if it just happens to be an smf forum (or a similar script which backs up files regularly) you can do something like this - cashtactics.net/forum/index.php~
