I don’t really understand how cURL works. Can it read the unparsed PHP code

I don’t really understand how cURL works. Can it read the unparsed PHP code from a PHP file? If so, what is to stop some hacker from reading the script that connects to my database and stealing the login information?

    No—PHP code is always parsed by the server whenever any kind of request is made. So if you use cURL to download a PHP file from the web, you will get its parsed HTML output.
