Short answer: NO Long answer NO, but: There are some products that claim they protect your code, but they all basicly rely on "security through obscurity". A principle that is often frowned upon by security experts. All those products make the code harder to read, but the code is still there becouse the server has to run it. It all comes down to these questions: How much do you trust your clients? How important is your code to you? If your code is some basic accounting database or something, just make it clear to your clients that they are not allowed to re-use the code (put a licence on top of each file). If you are ashamed of your crappy code, use something like PHP Encoder to hide this from your clients. It will probably hide all the curse word in your comments for example. If you really do use some hight tech, top secret NSA crypto code. Stop distributing your code. If someone can run your code, he/she can view, modify and copy your code. All you can do is make it harder, but if your code is valuable enough, someone will reverse engineer it.
