Dear CakePHP gurus,
I have an upcoming project with a stingy customer who looks like the
not-willing-to-pay-up type. My cakePHP code will be deposited to his
web server for testing before payment. I want to obfuscate my code so
that he cannot steal it and then find all sorts of excuses not to pay me.
May I know if there is a way to obfuscate my cakePHP code such that
someone who has access to the webserver and steals it will have
trouble reading it?
Thank you.

I would be tempted to go the usual javascript route and simply remove
all whitespace and comments from your code and replacing meaningful
variable names with meaningless ones.
https://github.com/kcampion/PHP-Compactor.git is a nice starting point
and as an added bonus, the compacted script will obviously load a little
faster.
There are some heavy weight systems around like Zend Encoder but if you
simply make it so that it will take the client just as long to untangle
what you have written as it would have done to write it themselves then
I would think they will be unlikely to steal it if the project is of a
decent size.
Steve.
