Hi,

I'm looking for a way to protect my sources php/CSS/js, there is
software to do it, but the licence price shifts-scrolls tenfold, anyway
if one customer is really an expert, she could find out

So I need pro advice on that one

Your PHP shouldn't be available if your server is set up correctly. It will be executed on the server and the user will never see it.

It's impossible to protect CSS, js or HTML, however. For the browser to be able to use these, it must download them. And if it can download them, so can any user.

While this is true, the question is "Protected from whom?". If the idea is not to allow the admin of the web site to see the code, then you need a server-side obfuscation strategy.
