uploading php pages

[barbara1712]

Hello Guys,

Just want to ask.When we upload our php pages on the client server,
we provide the code to the client.
I think in asp.net we provide only the .aspx pages not the code.

so like asp.net,is it possible in php?

You can encode your PHP with software like this.

There are some free ones out there, check SourceForge or FreshMeat

Edit:

ASP.NET is compiled not encoded so you really are still giving the code just in its compiled state.

And it can be decompiled.

And it can be decompiled.

Sometimes not, and it may be against the license to reverse engineer.

That won't stop anyone from trying to decompile it.

Perhaps not individuals, but legitimate businesses and organisations will generally.
