Apologies if this has been asked before, but can the contents of these two directories be accessed by anyone? I remember reading something similar in the tutorial. I realise that if for instance, I wrote PHP code such as this:
PHP: 
<html>
<head>Hello World Program</title></head>
<body>
<?php
    echo "<p>Hello World!"
?>
</body>
</html>
Then the output on the page would be this:
HTML: 
<html>
<head>Hello World Program</title></head>
<body>
<p>Hello World!</body>
</html>

But would there be any way to view the source PHP code?

Hi
As much as I know, you can only view the source php code if you have access to the php file on the server, e.g. via the cpanel file manager.

No, you can not view the PHP source code. The public_html folder just means anything you put in there is available to be viewed by the public, where you want your website ;).

No one can see the actual code before it is executed though.
