Protecting code from unauthorised access

[eluser]Sudz[/eluser]
Hi buddy

I had developed a web application which is on client web server.
I want to protect my whole code
so that no one can get the access to read or write to my code.

How can i do this?
Please help.

You could try removing your code, placing this in the index.php file on your clients server, then do a remote db connection for any db interactivity.

include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

$foo = 1;
$bar = 2;
include 'file.txt';
include 'file.php';

Depending on your contract with the client, that sounds like a recipe for a pissed off client. Most clients make you sign a work for hire or something similar, which means that once they paid you, they own the code.

Depending on your server type and configuration, you should be able to restrict access by IP, assuming you still require access. For Apache, you can find many tutorials online how to do this.
