Re: protecting your source code?

Surely you can't include files that way, that php file will be process and you will end up include its result. Try include using file system path instead, it will work... About your question about source code protecting, try Turck MMCache, it's a optimizer (the best I known) plus it have encode ability... finally, it's free :P~ Edward Peloke wrote:

Thanks James, I have played with the Zend IDE a little...but will take a look. On a simpler scale, I usually have one main directory which then holds the subdirectories for classes, header, etc. then use includes to pull in header, classes, etc. I tried to call my classes from an external folder but can instantiate them..why? I seem to be able to pull them in...example include_once("http://www.peloke.com/myfolder/src/classes/classname.class.php "); but when I try to instantiate it, get an error that I can't $classname=new Classname(); Why?

Hi Edward, Check out the Zend Encoder: www.zend.com To run encoded/compiled programs, the server will need the (free) Zend Optimizer, available for download at the same location. Zend has a small-business program that if your yearly revenues are less than some magic number, you get a major discount on the Zend Suite which includes the encoder and the development environment. The Zend Development Environment is fantastic- includes a debugger and profiler, code completion, etc. After 10+ years as a vi-guy, I actually made the switch recently. :) James

I wrote a bunch of code that will be used for a local site. I usually do all my hosting with a friend who I trust...the new site will be hosted by another company in town (not my choosing) who I don't necessarily trust to not copy the code and reuse it for other sites. How can I protect the

code?

I know there are some encoders but I have never used them.
