How to view the source of a PHP file

[Fadili]

Can someone tell me how to view the source of a PHP file. Or how to find a .txt/.jpeg/ (any) file in a host.
If you must now more information, don't hesitate to ask.

it depends on your host's operating system. if it is unix:
-see php source:

gedit /path/to/your/php/file.php

-find any file with defined end like for example .txt:
find DIRECOTRY -name "*.FILETYPE " -print

find . -name "*.txt" -print

Hi guillermobytes
Thanks for replying, hmm ... i'm sorry for my simplicity, but the php file is not in my host, ok that's the problem, someone wanted to scam me (phishing), but i didn't send him my pass'es, so i wanna now were is the .txt file, where are saved the passwords, to prevent the others, and report it as a scam.

I've founded a file - write.php - maybe it can help you.
Thanks

On a properly configured server, you can not read the actual PHP code. All you can do is get the output it generates.

Or you could use the built in show_source function, you know which ever is easier =].

EDIT:

I assume you meant to display your own source code.
