This is not true.  Browsers do not see any of the PHP code unless there is a bug in it.  PHP is a [b]server side scripting language[/b].  This means that the server parses it, and not the browser, apposed to what java is a client side language (the browser does the work).

you misunderstood what I mean.  i mean if you go to file, select open, and open say foo.php to preview it without running the code through the server
