    DUH! its normal that you don't get the PHP code otherwise everybody could read the sources of your sites. With browsers you see processed output of the PHP scripts... if you want more information about php read http://www.php.net

    This is pretty strange question. What does "when i open site on filezilla" even mean? FileZilla is a file transfer software, you can not open a 'site' with it. Second thing, if you are trying to save a file as .php then you must type it, as it when saving the file, otherwise, if you have saved a page with html before, it will default to html.

    Uhm. You "open the site" in FileZilla - ie. you open the FTP-connection to upload or download files - and of course you'll see the content / filenames as they were put on the server. When you chose "save as" in a browser, you'll save the page as-is - ie. the output that is shown in the browser-window - normally this will be a .html-file - it can be something else, it could be an image, a text-file, or something completely different - but it will NOT be a PHP-file - it will be the output from the PHP file. This should be fairly obvious.

    you're saving the file the wrong way.
    Where is the .php file that you're opening with FileZilla THAT is the actual .php file
    When you use your brower and goto File - SaveAs You're saving the website in entirety with images etc to a folder on your computer. You're NOT saving the .php file youre instead saving the HTML file that's created AFTER the php has loaded the content.

    so for example if your .php had a var like = echo $widget;

    when you File - SaveAs you're not going to get that in the source code, instead its a rendered HTML file and the source code will show = "cool widget"
    Not the PHP code. Its a rendered file you're saving.

    The Solution: Find the .php file that you open with FileZilla and copy/drag /drop that file to where you want it ..as that is the real .php file.
    the .html file you have is something you saved with a browser and that's not the correct way to save your own files. You must save the source code of .php
