its a problem because the code is not compiled into binary file, and then
every one who can browse the directory ( using ftp for example ) can view
your code.
To prevent this ( as root ) I chroot every user that log to ftp to another
directory so they cant go out and browse the /etc /php-directories or what
ever.
The problem still stays if you open php to system commands like `echo
/etc/passwd` or using system() ....
