Getting the PHP file to download without being executed

[makoinater]

Hey PHP friends, was just wondering is it possible to just download a PHP file as in save as from http:// but without the file being executed by the remote server -
Im trying to get files off my old website as a template for a new one but just want the source php ( login details long gone was on a free server)

Thanks if you can

ooof. If you can't login via FTP or SSH then you're not going to be able to that I'm aware of.

Hmm is there even some way to get a php file to list its variables and values at all?

there are ways but not from the outside
