Somehow accessing Javascript output?

Question

So,

Say there's a remote PHP file that's generating some output in JavaScript.
I can do <script src='some_file.php type='text/javascript'></script>, and the code will run, but when I click View Source it just shows the above code. Is there any way I can access the actual code that that PHP file is running?

Also, when I right click on the output of the javascript and go to 'this frame' -> 'view frame source' I get the actual output. I want to be able to use it.

If that was possible, every website using PHP will be DOOMED. — JiminP

I don't understand: the second-last sentence in your question says "I get the actual output", so haven't you already got what you want? — nnnnnn

This is inherently impossible.

PHP runs on the server; the browser is never aware of it.

Nope, PHP runs on the server and generates a html code as shown in your browser. Do you want it to show?

What I want is to be able to use preg_match_all on it to get a collection of the content. It's a javascript that displays links, when you mouse over the image with the links you get the actual URL, but if you view the source, you just get <script src=.. etc
