Only if your webserver has a handler issue will this occur or if you have a .htaccess to override the server from passing onto PHP.
This will happen with .php3 files if you don't have them set to be processed by php or any other extension that is not included in your web server configuration file / htaccess. And you are correct unless you have FTP/File Sharing etc you can't view the source of a handler/parsed file. HiTCHO has Spoken!

This came up in another group and I just wanted to know from the experts whether this is possible. Being someone well versed in PHP can you visit a web site, hit a script in PHP and be able to view the script on the page rather than just the html it generates. Is it true that the only way to view the script itself is to have some problem with the web server or have a local login for the server? Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.
