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

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" );
?> - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
-
"http://www.wc.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-transitional.dtd">
-
-
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
-
-
<head>
-
<title>System</title>
-
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styledemo.css" type="text/css">
-
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
-
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
-
</head>
-
-
<body align="center" bgcolor="#336699">
-
-
<table border="2" bordercolor="white" align="center" width="600">
-
<tr>
-
<td align="center" bgcolor="white">
-
<img border="0" src="http://bytes.com/images/mainlogo.jpg" width="400" height="117">
-
</td>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
-
<table border="0" bordercolor="navy" align="center" width="600" bgcolor="white">
-
<tr>
-
<td align="center">
-
<p>
-
PASSWORD PAGE
-
</p>
-
-
<?php
-
include("includes/pwform.php");
-
?>
-
-
-
</td>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
-
</body>
-
</html>
-
-
4)The include "pwform.php" is:
-
<FORM ACTION="pwprocessor.php" METHOD="POST">
-
<p>
-
-
UserID: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="userid" MAXLENGTH="10" SIZE="10">
-
-
Password: <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password" MAXLENGTH="10" SIZE="10">
-
<br>
-
<br>
-
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
-
-
<INPUT TYPE = "RESET">
-
</p>
-
</FORM>
Thanks for your help.

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

(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?

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.
