PHP source

I recently heard that there may be some editor that can view the source of PHP, I was wondering if anyone else heard of this and if it's true..How can that even be possible from the client side? Further more, how can I stop this?

I appreciate any help, thanks.

If the PHP is parsed then the client cannot view the source. When a user requests a php from a websever it is first parsed by the server and then plain text/html is sent to the user. They cannot view the source unless the server isnt parsing the php or if the page is set to show the source - like with .phps files.
