The only way php code is visible via a browser is if your php installation is completely borked, at which point you would not even be able to install wordpress (or any other php application) anyway. The only thing you have managed to do is turn a blank page into a "you're not authorized" message. For example, here's a link to the config file for wordpress.org. Not very informative, is it? http://wordpress.org/wp-config.php A better solution is to move wp-config.php out of the web-accessable area on your server, if you are concerned about this issue.
