How is > someone going to get your code off of a server? most likely op intends to distribute code to others which they do not want to be recognizable yet still be runnable. one way to cope with this as mentioned before on this list is to provide a thin api client in non-obfusticated form for an api which houses most of the proprietary logic on a remote server. most (all?) of the proposed solutions require installations of non-standard extensions or runtime environments on the server for clients and that typically is not realistic. -nathan
