The entire page, PHP with HTML, is sent to the PHP engine. It follows the instructions of the PHP code, outputting only HTML and error messages, and then hands the data to the web server which sends it to your browser. Unless something damages the PHP engine, causing the webserver to serve the pages without being pre-parsed by PHP, the PHP should never be revealed in the user's browser -- in fact it should never be sent at all. That's why if you keep your database connection information in an "include" file, it is recommended to make sure that you give that file the appropriate extension to be parsed by PHP, so that the data doesn't get sent out if the page is requested (it gets turned into PHP code which isn't passed along). But of course, if something damaged the PHP pre-parser then you'd still be up a river.
