is it at all possible to view the actual coding of files?

Yes, you want to use highlight_file() (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php).

The above will do so, as long as you pass it a relative or root path.

so does this work?

<?PHP
highlight_file("http://www.ronsguide.elixant.com/index.php");
?>

No, that will simply give you the source code that any browser could read. Why? Security...

You'll want one of these:

<?PHP
# option one:
highlight_file("index.php");
# option two:
highlight_file("/root/path/to/index.php");
?>
