In my experience, protecting PHP code is a pain. Two best known
solutions are Zend Guard and ionCube. Both require special PHP
modules, but these are quite common on hosting servers.
AFAIK, ionCube has provided the most secure solution in the past. It's
also quite affordable when compared with Zend Guard. I haven't checked
if it's protection has been broken, though, so you might want to look
into this before purchasing. There were some hints that it was broken
a couple of months back, but I couldn't find an actual proof.
Everything else is even worse than Zend Guard... and Zend Guard
protected applications can easily be decompiled at the moment. There
are other solutions but some of them are a complete joke - I did an
extensive research some months back and couldn't find anything else
really worth mentioning.
I'd say the best protection is one of the above solutions, combined
with the complexity of your application. Once you have thousands of
lines of code, without comments, etc Well hackers, good luck
stealing that, continuing development, providing support, etc. :)
Anyway, if you find a better solution, I'd be glad to hear about it.
