If PHP hits a bug and PHP isn't rendered, it won't be displayed... Sometimes firefox gives you the php tags... But I don't know what the point you are wanting to make. Cause if you put your functions two directories deep, and PHP fails and the php tags are shown, you will get:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

 include('/path/to/file.php'); ?>

so you're SOL anyhow. If somebody really wants to grab your stuff, there are (or used to be) extensions that stop the php from executing. Then the only thing you can do is hope you chmod'ed that directory.
