I was wondering if it is possible to retrieve the TRUE source code of a webpage - not the static html. Because I want to get the source code for a site using server side includes and php.<br />
<br />
ive tried Wget, but it just doesn't work out.<br />
<br />
help!<!--content-->not without doing anything illegal.<!--content-->there is no possible way that i know of to get server side code.<!--content-->What do you mean by that?<br />
<br />
Most browsers give you the option to view the Source Code. The only problem is, nowadays most pages use 'active', bot 'static', coding through the use of servers and such. What I want to view is the exact code the browser receives before interpreting it to me as a webpage - is that illegal?<!--content-->hmmm...<br />

THAT is illegal.<br />
i think what you want is for the source to display what is currently happening (such as the posts on a forum, etc.)<br />
dont believe its possible.<!--content-->Ok if you go here <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eldaronline.com">www.eldaronline.com</a><!-- w --> <br />

look on the bottom left column titled: "Who's Online" - the text there changes anytime anyone logs on or off. I want to have the code that makes that happen. But anytime I retrive Source Code through IE, it gives me the static text - the stuff that is currently written there - not the code.
