David, If the server is set up correctly, it interprets the PHP code and only sends an HTML stream to the browser. The only way the browser would see PHP is if the server is misconfigured. The browser will simply display it as it would HTML. It doesn't know PHP from plain text. Actually, the browser could not process PHP, since most of the resources needed are still on the server.
