newbie to 'proper' php project management

How can I protect/obfuscate/etc an ASP.NET MVC app's source code when deployed?

I have had good experiences recently developing with ASP.NET MVC and am considering whether or not to use it for a project coming up at work.

The critical associated requirements I believe support PHP are: hosti...
