Is there a method to deploy a PHP/Symfony2 project without having to give customer the source code to?
I don't know if it's like JEE project but all my research I found that the only way to deploy a symfony application is by changing dev into prod.
Can someone help me please ?
Here you have the same question, not about symfony per se but about PHP. Some of the recommendations there:
- Make a virtual machine appliance (restricts access to code, makes sure that the deployment environment is stable and controlled, and sandboxes the install)
- If you're afraid they will steal and resell your code, change you and do the support with another person, etc., you could add clauses to the contract forbidding that
Edit: you also have Zend Guard (found it in this other answer), but there usually exists a way to decode the obfuscated PHP code.
