Can the php codes be seen by others?

[Anon]

Dear all,

The php codes are compiled in the server only when the clients open the corresponding webpage. If the php webpages are given to the clients, they will rewrite the code. I think that it is not safe. Are there any methods to prevent others to rewrite the codes even when the webpages are given to the clients.

Sincerely yours,
Simon

its pretty impossible to get the code that way.. Only ways are tricking php codes to show themselves or get there ftp passwords.

Why would you give your PHP source to anybody?

Dear all,

We help the client to write the webpages only and then the client get them to his own server.

Sincerely yours,
Simon.

If the code resides on a computer a client controls, then it will be impossible to prevent them from 'tampering' with it. If you control the server, but the clients have access to that server, you would change write permissions of the php code.

Then again, if they tamper with the code, and things go titsup, then they have to employ you again to fix it :-)

Dear all,

Is it possible if the program is written by for example visual C and called the database mysql server.

Thanks
