How To View A Websites Index.php File

[[MPGH]Jim Morrison]

So I find a number of websites which are unsecured, and I was wondering how to view their index.php file; not by adding /index.php at the end, but the coding inside. Help is appreciated and thanks

If you use google chrome I believe just type view-source: before the websites name and it will show you

in google chrome, go to view-source:yoursite/index.php , which will give you source in html ofcourse, not php.

The PHP source cannot be read client-side.
PHP is post-processing, it will process the PHP source and output the HTML etc to the client, not the PHP itself.

What kind of information can you find in an index.php?

It's impossible to see its source that way, PHP is server-sided, so the server executes the code each time you visit the 'index.php' page. It can contain html code, and you can see it but PHP code is different. My knowledge says that you should deface a website to see all files hosted there and download the php files that you would like to and see its source.
