Is it possible to hide code written in php in source code

Question

below is my code where i am writing a code in php and calling it in body. When i run it and view source, the code gets visible. I have seen some site where nothing gets shown on source but a form appears on webpage. How can i do it too?

<?php
{   $avatar_form  = '<form id="avatar_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="myphoto.php">';
    $avatar_form .=   '<h4>Change your avatar</h4>';
    $avatar_form .=   '<input type="file" name="avatar" required>';
    $avatar_form .=   '<p><input type="submit" value="Upload"></p>';
    $avatar_form .= '</form>';
}


?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Avatar</title>
</head>

<body>
<div><?php echo $avatar_form; ?></div>
</body>
</html>

Thanks Shail

If you're seeing PHP code in the browser, your server's not set up right. That, or your filename doesn't end in .php. — cHao

Presumably you have put it into an .html file. And your web server has no idea that it needs to process it as php — zerkms

i think you want to hide your html source you can check this link stackoverflow.com/questions/12543704/… — Shah Rukh

@zerkms/cHao - there are other php codes too on the file which has several logics and they are not visible, only this is becoming visible. My whole project is on php, i havent used html even on a single page. — Shailendra Hunt Arya

For reference, there's not really such a thing as hiding HTML source. The browser has to see the HTML before it knows what to show the user. And telling it to betray the user and not show that HTML even when asked, is harder and more trouble than it's worth. — cHao

Why not write it in html? There should not be any code showing like that:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Avatar</title>
</head>

<body>
<div>
<form id="avatar_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="myphoto.php">
<h4>Change your avatar</h4>
<input type="file" name="avatar" required>
<p><input type="submit" value="Upload"></p>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

just using php to echo html is sometimes not faster or useful then writing it directly in .html files.

This is Output of the code, And this is the page source showing at my side my browser.. Check whether the file type is .php or .html? if html, it will show the php code. If so, save it as .php

Do you like to use right click disable jquery code in you programmed code? it will stop to click right. $(document).ready(function() { $("img").bind("contextmenu",function(){ return false; }); });
