Encrypt PHP codes on client's host

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Encrypt PHP codes on client's host

Post by ginigangadharan »

Dear Geeks,
I want make my php code to be encrypted or unreadable to the user. I mean even the users have access on hosted files. there are some paid encryption services, but i don't believe its accuracy. and I want to do it in our own basic.
Also there is a plan to implement a hardware security key (USB Dongle) for my software.

Any ideas from your side ?
All suggestions are invited.

Your PHP code isn't viewable to the end user, the server parses the PHP and returns only HTML to the client browser.

Hi mikeashfield,
thank you for your reply.
I think i have to explain a little bit more.
I am distributing this software/web application on my client's own server, which is locally accessible by the client/customer.
I mean he can see the plain text php file/script in /usr/web/app or c: or d: folders.
here is problem, which we want to solve.

thanks again
