Encrypt and Secure php application
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 11:18 pm
Hi,
I'm new to php and also new to this website and I hope that find an answer to my question.
I hired a developer to write code in php for my website application. A company wants to purchase my application, but instead of using it on my hosted server on the INTERNET, they want me to setup the application on their INTRANET because of data protection and privacy.
So, I asked my developer on how can we do this, and he suggested to write a new set of code in C# with SQL database to setup on the INTRANET server and for the company users to connect to that application via ASP.NET. He mentioned that this is the only way we can protect our codes and to prevent that company to simply edit it.
My Questions:
1-Is there a way to simply secure my php code and mySQL database so that I prevent starting application from scratch in a different language
2-Can I setup my application written in php/zend/mySQL on a Windows based INTRANET without the need to make changes to the server, like installing php server and so on? The reason is I like it to be simple for my customers to set it up and use it, instead of making changes to their server which most organizations wont do that easily.
3-If the answer to either one of the above is NO, what would be your suggestion on how to proceed?[/list]
Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for my long question.
