klitscher Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 To be honest, I can't remember if I dreamt this (dreaming about programming, such a life I have) or if it is real, but is there a function one can call to get the php code from a php file displayed in a browser...I know that you can't just save a php file and look at the code, it is all handled on the server end, but I either dreamt or read that there is a function that you can use to read the backend code for any file...and if this is so, is it only possible on localhost or can you check any url in cyberspace for it?I apologize if i make no sense.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3735-random-php-function-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

running_out_of_imagination Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 yes, maybe have the database details on a dbconfig.php and just include it on the main script. Also don't try to have highlight_file($_GET[$bar]) as people could just change the variable on the URL.
