It's possible... you can use Zend Guard to protect your code from being altered.

That is a much better solution if protecting the code from modification important.

$powered = 'Powered by <a href="htp://stackoverflow.com">Stackoverflow</a>';

ob_start();
echo $powered;
$html = ob_get_clean();

So you rely on the user obeying your command!?

at least it possible.

Let's say it's just a general grasp of how can be done. This is supposed to be implemented in a larger system and we don't know its internals. There are always tricks to enforce compliance (server settings, obfuscated code...) and there're always tricks to skip it (remove the checks from code, hide the notice with CSS...).

Álvaro G. Vicario 2010-04-29 12:10:34

Erm, ok. Then the simplest answer is "echo $powered; // DO NOT REMOVE!"

There is a way around everything for those who have skill and don't give up, however, this is a good example for at least a working solution.

zaf.. actually the main of `$powered =''` protected by ioncube. the echo $powered just on the template file.
