It took me less than five seconds to reveal the source code. In Firefox, select View > Page Source. Don't be fooled by the "protected" status and the comment that says "Source code not available". Just scroll down a very long way, and all the source code is revealed. Hiding source code is an urban myth. For a page to be displayed in a browser, the browser needs to access the HTML output and images. There are techniques make it a little more difficult to see the code, but they're essentially useless.

I would like to ask you a question but seems there is no way other than this. I have purchased 2 of your book (PHP 5 for Flash and Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax and PHP. As a proof=on page 190 php 5 for flash you talk about few Orcs and Balrog and in Dreamweaver there is about quote saying if you couldn't find anything in London). My question is: can you tell me what PHP code can I use to protect my website from being copied? Here are the link to one of the website that nobody can. <a href="http://www.xtremeecovers.com/version2/version_2.0.html" rel="nofollow">xtremeecovers.com</a> Sincerely, I will be really grateful if you could lead me to such code because recently, people had been copying my website.

This part of the instructions never happens: "The wizard is now ready to install PHP. If you selected Apache, it asks whether you want it to configure Apache. Click Yes. After the installation, you should see two alert boxes telling you that the Apache configuration and mime.types files were successfully updated." Apache 2.2.11 installed with no issues but after I install PHP the Apache service won't run and gives an error saying it can't find the proper module for PHP. Help please!

It depends how you installed PHP. The book's updates and amendments page has updated instructions for installing PHP. Since I don't know which method you have used, it's difficult to give any advice, but the likely causes are not including the PHP folder in your Windows path, forgetting to uncomment the relevant DLL files in php.ini, or not selecting the MySQL extensions when using the Windows installer.

Most, if not all, hosting companies turn on magic quotes. If developing sites for deployment on a shared host, it's essential to use the same settings to make sure your code works as expected. Moreover, if you base php.ini on php.ini-dist, magic quotes are automatically turned on. My recommendation is to turn them off, but it's not always practical to do so.
