bravenet is one of the best, with heaps of help, untill you reach 25% of your band width, then you are shut down for the month

So, I'm assuming that PSC has a lot of PhP, because a lot of the pages are php. But when i view the page source I don't see any <?php tags. Why not?

there's a tiny bit of code that hides all php code

php is parsed on the website server (serverside script). The server sends the results (usually html) to the client.

So you can't see the 'scripting' behind it, just the output
Unlike for instance javascript, where the java code is send to the client and it's get parsed there (that's why you need javascript installed and enabled on your pc before you can actually see it's output)

Basically a request goes like this:
- Client asks something to server
- server gets request and sends required variables to php
- php uses the vars and processes everything and sends the output to the server
- server sends the result to the client

so there's no hiding code (unlike splodge said), you just don't get the code, only the result

Hope it explains a bit

is that the orange stuff in dreamweaver?
