Wrong end of stick :)

The problem wasn't people viewing your PHP code via the web (which any
correctly configured web server should protect against) - it was
people on the same server as you (i.e. a shared server environment)
being able to telnet/ssh in and "more" (view) PHP files in your web
directory.

This is far more common than you'd think :)
