er..correct me if i am wrong.Originally Posted by emptyspace
a page in .php already has its php code hidden from users.
<?php ..... code code...
?>
you wont be able to see the code when you load the page..so why would you want to protect a php page?
the source code will only show <html> tags..
------
personally speaking, depending on what sort of site you are developing, source code should be made free unless you are making like a corporate site/ebay those kinda you should use encryption.
for normal sites i dont think its UN-nessecary. one reason i can give is that, one of the fastest way to learn html is by viewing source..study the tags. i first learnt html from tutorial sites and by viewing other site's source codes.
if those sites/every site has encryption, i dont think new users/we would be able to learn anything out from just looking at the layout/encrypted tags :p
just my 2 cents.
