Encrypting Source files in CI - El Forum - 02-27-2010

Hi!

I just developed an application for a client and I'm afraid he will modify the codes and resell my application! Confusedhut: I tried making him sign a contract at the later stage but he would not.

Has anyone tried anything on encrypting CI source files? Any information at all will be appreciated. :coolsmile:

Ou can use PHP Obfuscator. Google it.

Don't give him the application if he doesn't sign a contract.

I tried several PHP Obfuscators witht no luck. It doesn't seem to go down well with CI

I couldn't do that as it is not part or our first agreement.

Perhaps you can obfuscate certain parts of the application ... by that I mean the contents of the controllers and models ... function names maybe kept intact, but the inner workings can be obfuscated where it makes sense...
