I recently noticed that my php code is no longer hidden when viewing the page with view-source on Explorer. What happened?

Sounds like your PHP isn't being processed. Without more information, we're only guessing, though.

re: php code no longer hidden


The code is as follows:
1) The php item that sets the cookie works fine and does not show in view-source.
2) The php item for the include works fine, but it appears in view-source and is a big problem since the next page name becomes visible.

3)The main page code is:
<?php
setcookie( "auth", "Austreal5" );
?>

I believe if you click topics, then PHP, then answers you will get there.

as far as I can see there is no PHP code in "pwform.php" only HTML, thus no PHP code is exposed. (any output (e.g. HTML code) will be visible)

Oh yes, I see what you mean now that I look at it again. Any ideas how I can hide that destination page name on line 43?

you only can make it harder to see, but you can't comletely hide it. but why would you need the form processor to be hidden?

re: php code no longer hidden


I finally see that the password and userid are hidden by being in php code on the processing page AFTER the password page, so I have not had a problem all along. Live and learn. Thanks for your help Dormillich. Without your questions I probably would never have seen the obvious.
