Protecting code...?

by **eyewoo** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 11:36 am

I've been developing a niche market website using PHP. Is there any way to protect the code if it is sent to a purchaser, i.e. protect it against being simply cut and pasted for other purposes. Anyway to compile PHP?

Well... I didn't think so. Since it is server side, I thought there might be some way. It is not unheard of to have compiled interprative progrmming languages.

only thing I can think of is if there's a way to physically (and perm!) LOCK a file that doesn't need editing...

Zend does offer a compiler for PHP. see http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend ... -suite.php

remember, php is not a true programming language, rather a scripting language. :wink:

Oromian... understood... however, I view it more or less as a programming language embedded in a scripting language... 8O
