There is no way to know the server side code from a client without cracking the server.
 
You need to have an access to the web server.
Try to ask to the owner :)
 
PHP it's server side so to copy the functionality you need server access, so the guys above are right, you need a hacker.
 
One idea to consider if it's not a WP site but still has a lot of statis content: You can just save all of their pages as HTML, upload them to your own server and then adjust the links via mod_rewrite. Only works on stuff like blogs though.
 
Everything said here already is correct.

You can can crawl a website if you want to copy the contents. Most likely you need a full browser environment (something that executes javascript) for your crawler. Then you can extract the full text of a page. You can also take a snapshot of the page that way and 'copy' the site. In that case you'll be doing something similar to what archive.org does. Something to keep in mind, you'll need to download all of the assets, javascript, css, images and such if you want the entire site. Even then you still don't have any of the code as was already said here.
 
It really depends on the purpose. If you want the content, then sure a crawler would do the trick. However, if you want specific website features copied, then that's another story.

I don't think its possible, if its WordPress tou can use the same theme but most WordPress sites have customized themes
 
You can take the backup of each and every file associated with your website, download it on your local system and upload it to the new panel where you would like to copy the files. You just need to make sure to make the necessary changes in database configuration file, server details in the configuration file of your website. As on each server, configuration details that is database name, database user, server hostname used to change.

If there is cPanel and you would like to restore the whole cPanel as it is to the new server which has cPanel then simply perform the cPanel migration using the transfer tool from the WHM. You can ask your host to do it for you.
