Larceny Protection Script

[rpcarnell]

Someone here said something about clients stealing his work.

Is there a script we can use to prevent this from happening? Like, someone wants you to create a webpage for him, and you show him part of the work done, but he won't be able to """download""" the entire page unless he pays the rest of the money, or something like that. And you can write in the script how much the client needs to pay.

Can it be done with a PHP script like OS-Commerce ??

When I show a client that I don't think is super trustworthy, I show them only an image of the site design made with Photoshop, and I normaly stamp a big translucent SAMPLE accross it. Sure, they could use the image as a template for rebuilding it themselves, but if they are smart enough to do that, then why the hell did they hire me in the first place lol.

Maybe they want to test you oh well i am sure you both of you can find out how 2 achieve this you just need to find the correct method to do things if you only know php then i dont know then.

php is a server side script. If you build the entire thing on a server they don't have administrative access to then they can't download the site. Php is inherently secure in that regard.

PHP will keep the code safe, but the design is still really easy to steal, and you can't hide the HTML from the browser effectivly, because it wouldn't be able to render the page otherwise.
