Viewing PHP

[Edwin]

Okay im sorry if this isn't the place for this post but couldn't find a proper place. :)

Okay im just wondering if there is a way to view PHP coding on someones site.

Or any type of program that will do this.

[rob]

ummmmmm...... no

[Des]

they would have to set some thing special up on their web site for you to do this.

So in short no

[Ad disengaged]

you can't. The code renders instantly

[laars]

I don't think that will ever happen because nobody wants you to see their coding...

[Sergio]

I don't agree, I'd love to see the coding of almost every website. That's how I learn. But yeah it's not possible. Hack them or something, jk.

[Edwin]

o0o thanx alot really answered alot but it would be cool to view the coding to learn :P but is there anyplace i can learn PHP i know about http://php.net/ but its not what im really looking for.

I said people don't want you seeing their code. Of course, everybody wants to see other people's code. :P

just type "php tutorials" or "php beginner tutorials" in google you will get a lot of hits. I suggest getting a beginner level book on php and mysql http://www.oreilly.com/pub/topic/php

Just look for scripts pertaining to what you want to learn. If php.net isn't what you're looking for (read the comments) I'm not sure where to point you.

Thank you both :clap:

You can easily download php files from someone else's site.

1) Create a simple html file that has a URL link to the php file.
2) View the simple web page you have just created in IE.
3) Right-click the link and select Save as.
4) Change the .htm extension to .php and the file type from HTML to All files.

That wont work to view php. It will only return rendered HTML.

Step 4) is to change .htm into .php and File type from HTML doc to All files. If you don't do that then you'll get HTML.

You can change the extension to whatever you want... all you're gonna get is HTML.

...or maybe change it to SWF and it'll transform into a Flash. j/k

You won't get PHP, period.

[nsmchris]

the extension doesn't matter, it is rendered html either way.

[Edwin]

yeah i did that it wont work it just shows the HTML and Javascripts

OK, you're right. It doesn't reveal the php part. Sorry.

[Edwin]

When I first started learning PHP quite a few years ago, I purchased a book called "PHP & MySQL Web Development". Found it very useful, of course Google would be the most useful resource.
