I heard there is a software which can download even the php files of a website if it does not use SSL. Is that true. Is there really any such tool out there? If yes, don't people misuse it to clone websites of others? Any help will be highly appreciated.

If PHP is working PHP source code can't be downloaded, only output which you can see in browsers View -> Page Source

What we can see in the browser is only html. I want to know whether the PHP code (server-side code) of the site can also be downloaded or not?

No, it can't be done unless the server is misconfigured or there's a vulnerability in php core that would allow this.
