thx for the reply first of all, but that's not the answer I am looking for. What I meant was to download source php from other sites than my own to study them. So what are the possible ways?

No, not possible. PHP is already processed by the server. If you could download them it would be a big security vulnerability.

if that was possible, many site's database passwords, encryption keys, etc. would be freely available for anybody to download.

You could email the owner of the site and ask if they send you the script they use. If you're looking for something specific and someone build exactly that and he or she is a nice guy/girl, you might get a positive response.
