[SOLVED] calling the scripts, instead of having the scripts on my pages.

Everyone keeps telling me about security and it sounds like a big deal. And I do know that source code can be viewed on websites, which I heard makes it easier for hackers to do their job. I have a lot of pages with 4-5 scripts within each one. My question is, can I have all those scripts, in all my pages, located in one secure file and then call them where I need them on my pages? Wouldn't it be better to not have all those scripts viewable to everyone.

sorry for the post, I just checked out the source on my pages, and I can not find the php scripts at all? I could of sworn I have seen them in there before. Does it always hide the scripts within a page from view?

php can't be seen in the source code, as it is server side and generates html.

 

you can include files to your pages as you need them using include_once("path.to.file") or require_once("path.to.file")

html and javascript can be viewed but a site with a working php parser, the php isn't viewable as its server side.
