Local hard disk backup of my application

[suresh_nsnguys]

Hi Guys,

I am working in a digital signage software where user can display ads in the LCD screen.MyApplic ation is running PHP & MySQL.

Right Now users are accessing my Application through internet.But we planned to give 'local Hard disk' backup , where user can download my application to their local hard disk and run their application locally.

I planned to implement like this:

I will allow users to download my application as a .zip file - contains HTML code(contain Ad details) and 1 image directory(.gif, .jpg files).when user execute this html file it will display ads(image files) locally.

I am afraid that users can view the source code of my application(HTM L and javascript sources) in HTML file .I am looking for any alternate implementation


But Is there any other way where i can implement the same functionality or i proceed in same manner(specifie d above).I Don't have lot of web technolgy knowledge

I am looking for some help from you guys

Your Users can always view the source of your HTML/JavaScript regardless of where you keep it; the browser will download the file into the User's cache if it is not local.

You might try obfuscation; it's not perfect, but it does make your source harder to read. Here are some links:

As a sidenote, I'm usually not too concerned with hiding my client-side stuff. 99% of the really proprietary stuff is usually server side (and Zend Guard can help protect that), and the cooler the client-side stuff is, the more free viral marketing you get among developers.
