php - How to protect my source code when deployed?

Question

Is there a way to encrypt or enclose my code on my Linux server after deployment? I know Zend does some kind of encryption, right? Is that what people use? Is this even possible? How do I go about keeping my code secure online?

Answer 1

You are right, you can use Zend Encoder, Ion Cube or something like Source Guardian to encrypt your source code.

Its not really needed unless you are giving away your code and dont want people to steal it though.

What is it about your server that you think its insecure?
