RE: [PHP] Security of PHP code

[Hankley, Chip]

OK,

I'm pretty new to PHP, and have been reading this thread, and am just a
little freaked.

If I understand this right, the only way reason we can view the source code
of those pages is that the web server on which the page resides essentially
has a PHP page somewhere on their site that has some variation of:

<?show_source($file);?>

as it's content, right?

While I can see the utility of that for some situations
(teaching...examples, etc.), it seems like a huge potential for security
breaches.

Is it possible to have such a function on your site w/o giving access to ALL
of your documents...
