To view the actual codes of a .php page on the internet, what should be done during the content viewing of the page...?

I dont think that this is possible (but would like to know if it is!) The reason is that when you request a php page, the webserver will execute the php script and then send to you what this script generates (which is usually HTML.) As this is a server side operation, all your machine knows is the output sent by the server (which is produced by the php) and not the php itself.

I don't think there's a way to view the actual php codes, cause the php code ( file ) relied on the server, meaning that all the php is handled by the php engine on the server which then ouputs the result as a html page.. So except you go to the server and get to the file, you have NO other way to view the php code..

Yes that's it, there is no way to see the PHP script from your browser, it is the same with all other scripting languages not only with PHP, all you can see from your browser is the HTML, CSS, javascript and some other small stuff.

If people could see PHP, the internet would be a lot more vulnerable to hackers. As it is, hackers just have to make educated guesses as to what the PHP code states. If a hacker could read the PHP, then they could just launch an attack based on what they read, as opposed to having to make educated guesses.

You cannot PHP is a scripting language and its a script it runs and you dont see it again till you run it you would actually have to download it and you dont its run on the webserver and the data is sent to you
It would be a major security risk if you could view PHP on a live website

You cannot
Never say never! The only way I can think of off the top of my head, and it's cheating a bit, is to ssh or ftp into the webserver (and hope there is a guest or anonymous account to allow this) and also hope that the PHP script in question has not been secured properly so that you can view the contents..... bit of a long shot though

No theres no chance for viewing the codes of the php script...
unless you will hack it to view the codes...
you can use a source code viewer but its just viewing the page code that will be generatedand not the actual script code!

I can tell you for sure that it cannot be done. And I'll tell you why: PHP is a server side scripting platform. All the PHP code is run on the servers and then outputted to the client (your browser) as regular html. The simple reason this is not possible is security, and of course because it IS on the server. Hope this helps

The closest thing to being able to see the PHP code of a file is to use a .phps file, which applies syntax highlight to the PHP code in the file. There has to be an actual .phps file though, so you can't just stick the s on the end of index.php in a URL or anything like that.

File > Save page as > Open in Notepad
This will work in firefox if you want to view the code of a page and save a copy of it offline, and have the images for it too.

You cannot view anyone's site codes. That would be very unfair for the developer and the site owner for making and buying the site. Though you can see some of the codes buy not all of them. Try do discover more of PHP

Yes, I agree with u people! PHP code is executed by the server itself (which is located miles away from u) and so how can u see it? However, its not at all a matter for hackers like Kevin Mitnik who has spent years in jail for hacking.
Glad to help.
