My question is:

Is possible (if we know the structure, variables contained on a determinated file) do a remotly call for see the variables and the structure what contains ?

For example, if we have a php file that contain a SQL configuration, is possible do a remotely call for see the configuration ?

Short answer: yes, sometimes

Long answer: When you send a request(GET/POST/etc) to the .php script, the server executes it's code and sends you the result(the .html, json etc). There's this vulnerability called Local File Inclusion, where you are able to read(not execute) files from the server, including the .php ones
