I am trying to download a .php file from a website because I want the script that he is using and I can't find it anywhere else.

Is there any software / tools / methods to download an actual PHP file?

Also need a similar method for ASP files, any ideas?

As mentioned, it is impossible unless you have the FTP login. One thing that might help (although it is kinda like playing the lottery), is to look for backups of the file... zip rar bak bk etc. It is a bit of a pain but sometimes you do get lucky. ;)
 
Hire a BlackHat Pogrammer/Hacker fellow! Haha!

What is the website? If you post it here, members of this forum maybe able to help you and point you in the direction of the actual script or simular products etc.

If we know what you want we can help.
 
No way, something like this could cause a disorder to the WWW ^^
But, you can hire a PHP coder to make a very similar clone of a website for you, with the same looks, same functions, etc.
 
You would have to take advantage of a security hole in php or the web server for that matter.

Any chances that such a hole can be found by searching the internet is pretty slim, as it would be a major security issue which would have be patched in hours as soon as it is found.

Otherwise, you would have to pray that the script is running on a mis-configured webserver, which probably isn't the case if the you are admiring the scripts functionality.

Summary, you are out of luck. You may have to look into hiring a coder to clone the functionality.
 
Thanks a lot for the help guys, will start trying to make my own :D
 
PHP by its nature is compiled by the time your browser recieves it. Thus the server only sends the generated HTML & no php. Unless you have access to the server so you can see what compiling it does, you cannot have access to it.

Imagine all the usernames and passwords stored in config files for databases which would be hacked if it was possible.

agreed you can use SQL injection to make it dump its data, but with alot of PHP having auto escape for quotes, this gets quite hard. Especially when everything is bounded so over/underflows aren't very common.

Look for a server XSS exploit so you can download the file without compiling it. Hard to do, but possible if you know what server they are running etc.

I agree that it can't be done and don't think this will work but, you can try screen-scraper. There is a free trial on their website. They CLAIM to allow for .php scraping but I haven't seen it happen yet - not once...

That's why php is so secure and people use it. It is not impossible but REALLY hard to access.
 
is there any advantage
in php over perl?

many commands seem the
same between the two.
 
As aftershock stated:

HTML: 
http://www.screen-scraper.com/

They have a free trial, but its very basic and does not do much. The enterprise edition would be great if anyone has access to it.

Since php is based from perl, there isn't much difference. I've found them to be the same in levels of security. As for function, there are some distinct differences as one is more for software ( perl ) and the other more for server/web interactive script creation ( php ).
 
There is a way,
if you have the root of the .php file ill post it here
