it is possible to copy php script ?

i want to copy a php script with out execution ?

 

Not normally possible. PHP is a server side lang, meaning you only see what it prints out. Certain servers have a feature that allow you to include over the net, and there's ftp, but for what you want to do it doesn't work.

 

Ditto to the above. It's absolutely impossible. The file is parsed way before you can do anything to it, so you will only receive the execution output, not the code input.

 

there is no hope ?

 

Your only hope is to get FTP access and download it that way, or perhaps asking the owner of the script if you could have a copy? Doubt the latter will work, but I've given away scripts before, so can't hurt to ask =]

 

Its not possible until you have access to the server

 

Sounds a little fishy if you don't have direct access to the script

That aside, if you:
- Do have FTP access to the server
- Need to share source code via the browser

you can use highlight_file() or show_source() to accomplish this. They both do the same... show_source() is actually just an alias for highlight_file().

You can take 2 approaches to practicing this:
1.) put this in each file that needs to show it's source in the browser (at the bottom)

highlight_file(__FILE__);

PHP:

2.) Create a new file and use the following code. It will build a directory/file tree. The files (in left column) will be clickable. Click a file and it's source will display in the right column.

<?php
function getDirectory($path = '.', $level = 0, &$output = array()){
    $ignore = array('cgi-bin', '.', '..');

    $dh = @opendir($path);
    
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
        if (!in_array($file, $ignore)) {
            $spaces = str_repeat('&nbsp;', ($level * 4));
            
            if (is_dir("$path/$file")) {
                $output[] = "<strong>$spaces $file</strong>";
                getDirectory("$path/$file", ($level+1), $output);
            } else {
                $output[] = "$spaces <a href=\"?file={$path}/{$file}\">{$file}</a>";
            }
        }
    }
    
    closedir( $dh );
    return $output;
} 

$output = getDirectory('/your/root/path/here');   // Change this!
?>


<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
    <tr>
        <td width="20%" valign="top">
            <?php 
                print_r('<pre>');
                print_r(implode(PHP_EOL, $output)); 
                print_r('</pre>');
            ?>
        </td>
        <td width="80%" valign="top">
            <?php
                if (array_key_exists('file', $_GET)) {
                    highlight_file($_GET['file']);
                }
            ?>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

PHP:

If you use #2, make sure you drop the new file in the root of, or above where you want to start your file tree.
