is it possible to use a program like wackget or something that downloads files from the net, to download a world readable php file?

I don't think so, as the web server parses the php before it even sends it out, so it does not matter how you download it, it will always be parsed html already.

Do you think you could make a program that could download the ram php file?

Don't think so, only way to get it would be to access the server another way then http (aka hacking). But you can still access it through http if php is turned off for .php, so all you really need to do is something to modify the .htaccess file and bingo.

I had a security script slam shut on an intruder and it made an error in the .htaccess file, so only way out was to do a "dele .htaccess" to delete the .htaccess and remake it, but durring that time all php was not parsing as the .htaccess file telling .htm to parse was not there. So finding a way to make the server remotely bypass php or simply crash it somehow, would work.

Hmm have to be careful here don't want to encourage hacking.
