Wget download php file

Thanks for A2A,

As others are saying its not possible.

First, PHP is a server-side scripting language.
When a request to that file comes from port 80 (http request), it will handle from a web server (apache, IIS, nginx, etc)
and execute it. The and the result will be return to the client.
So when you try to download the .php file, it will return you the html file.

It is not possible to download any server-side script from http request.
one way to download the server-side script is through FTP, ssh, telnet, VPN/VPC etc .

But there are some possible ways provided you have good intentions of ethical hacking.

1. By misconfiguration of apache/IIS server. so that PHP will be displayed as text file. Its not easy but possible.
2. <?php

$file = ("diseinuak4web.net");
header ("Content-Type:application/octet-stream");
header ("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$file);

Write another script like above, to download a php file from your own server and not another server. It will send the php file as binary.

3. if you want to download it from another server with above method

You need to find a hole on that server, then find a folder and upload a filemanager or shell script, then just grab the source.
