MDanz Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 how do i protect my website from source code being stolen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynewex Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Your PHP source code gets executed on the servers side, and thus is never seen by the user on the client side (browser), unless a server error occurs. Basically, use a strong FTP login. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDanz Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 but on firefox i can do view page source and i see all websites source code.. anyway to prevent that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 You see only HTML/JavaScript. Browser has to see this, to render the page, and if browser can see this, so can end user. You can ogfuscate/minimise your JavaScript, but you can do nothing with HTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynewex Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If you're seeing actual PHP source code, it's because either your server doesn't support PHP or because you've used the wrong tags to denote PHP code. Example: short tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynewex Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 At the end of the day, there is nothing you can do from stopping the end-user from reading your XHTML/HTML. That's the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salathe Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 At the end of the day, there is nothing you can do from stopping the end-user from reading your XHTML/HTML. That's the truth. And there's no reason why you need to stop them anyway. If you think there is, you're missing the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
