[users@httpd] filename.php~

Hi all,
I am kind of new to apache.
I have Apache/2.0.46 Linux WS 3 (Red Hat) Server PHP Version 4.3.2

I am confused and bewildered that some files in the /html have an extra file 

with ~ on the end.

I am unsure what this means or how to stop it. I used an example on my site 

and was dismayed that it downloaded the file: filename.php~ and displayed 

all the Preprocessor information including my Database user information.

How can I secure this so that all files that end with ~ do not show 

preprocessor information and display as if it was called as a regular php 

page?

Thank you,

Kevin
