//here goes the binary data, instead of php code
I have downloaded a file to view/edit from the hosting, and I see this....many php files are corrupted with binary data, so I can't edit it and I don't know how can this be fixed, or how can I decode this binary data?
The file you have opened is a binary and not a text file.
That is why there is no source-code.
You get the source-code by contacting the original author of that file.
Btw, the file is not corrupted. It is just not human read- and editable.
