Hi feyd,
1.
None; they are such a thin veil of security that it's worthless to me
Do you mean even the php prg is encoded, you could decode it easily?
2.
A solid license works better.
What is solid license? Are there any examples that I could study with?
To my knowledge, to prevent the php code from accidentally downloading by hackers, we would better encode it with some php encoder (eg. zend, ionCube, etc.) This is the situation when we protect source code of exe program of pc. Am I right? Or, when we are talking about web application, the situation is completely different?
3.
The server must support the encoding
As you mentioned, we need to ask isp if they have installed any zend or ionCube decoder (because this results running bytecode after encoding protection).
If not, we ask them if they could install them or not. Right?
Thanks in advance.
