PHP -> Pre-Hypertext-Processor is a server side technology. Once the interpreter is finished and the document is sent to the client (browser) no manipulations using PHP are possible.
Hiding the source code would be something at the client side and thus cannot be achieved with PHP. AFAIK there is no way to hide the content of HTML documents.

... it's kinda recursiveActually afaik PHP means Programmable Hypertext Preprocessor.
And no, although you could use java to disable right click and popups to disable menus, there are still plenty of ways to make html source available like opening urls in textpad or using non-java enabled browsers etc.
If you are worried about people ripping your PHP code, it can't be done, the only thing viisible to the end user is the outputted (is that a word lol) html.

According to the PHP online manual, PHP is a recursive acronym which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".

While we are all nitpicking the confusing acronym, be sure to pronounce PHP using three distinct letters. I've heard some folks pronounce it as a one-syllable word, sounding much like a muffled fart.

But wouldn't that sound be onomatopoetically spelled "pfptp"?

Have you ever considered the German pronunciation?
Pa-hah-Pa I'm sorry there is no IPA (Interntional Phonetic Alphabet) font on Tek-Tips, so I can't represent it correctly. But it's worth a try.
I', sorry I started this. The discussion itself is probably becoming redundant, just like the acronym.

PHP is certainlly now PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Though it was originally PHP/FI which stood for Personal Home Page/Form Interpreter. (
Correctly stated, you can't hide HTML code, because the browser is a client and needs it, hence the client has it, hence they can see it... hence you're out of luck, because no matter how clever you get, they can always just do a simple wget or telnet call on the page and have it.
If you really have content you need displayed with that kind of protection, the only viable solution (though I hate it) that I've ever heard is to turn it into a simple flash site and present it that way.
