due to bad internet bandwidth in my country, the client wishes for me to install my PHP/MySQL application on his Windows server or a Linux server.
What is the best way to protect the source code? Or the folder where the PHP source code resides. The client should be able to use the rest of the server freely.
Thank you. Cyril

The best way to protect your php code is imho http://www.ioncube.com/
I would not recommend Zend Guard, because some tools exists which can recompile (not perfect) the compiled php code.
PHP Encode is also a bad idea, because it slows down your php code way more than other encoder.
