As php is server-side you won't get the php code from a front-end approach. You'll get whatever is being written out to the pages for browser rendering/action (what you see with a ctrl-u in most browsers). This will be the html, including style detail, links etc, embedded javascript and whatever other client-side things are bring written out, but not the base php source and related. If you have access to the source, then I'd do a "cp -pr" and go from there. In either case, you need to understand and respect the relevant licensing. There are licensing rules even for "open source" material.
