Heh yeah, especially that gave the joke away ...

Considering that that source code would potentially include database passwords, etc, it had better be an April 1st spoof!

I've seen PHP-based websites where someone forgot to add the mod_php module and corresponding handlers to Apache, serving the PHP pages as plain text. They had the database passwords etc inside the PHP, making them readable to everyone. That's why one should always put private data _outside_ of the webroot :-)
