possible to steal source?

Hi, a guy claims he is able to steal any php file source by simple inputting the url to his 'program' and downloading all the content as it was written, this goes against everything I know, PHP is processed on a server level so how can it be possible to get the source?

 

Is he lying?

 

I'm asking this just for peace of mind.

Very much doubt it.  By the time the server gets to this stage it wil either run very slow, of just give no responce.  As far as the server is concerned the only way to deal with .php files if to run them first.  The only way it would show it straight would be if php was not installed!

 

I doubt he can do what he says, as not all servers will have the same ports (eg ftp) open.  + as DeathStar servers are quite secure now.

 

If he has though he is minted!
