PHP source code security on server

Question

I am a PHP newbie and a have a php security question. Is it possible for somebody to get the source code of a php script file running on a server with default configuration?

Answer 1

If you have this line in your apache.httpd.conf file,

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Apache should deal with data, rather than showing them...

Also you need to start php services.
