Check security? If you need me to code you something you don't know how to check security anyway.

I do not encode all of my php scripts, or if I do it's often just the core that works with another block of software, like nats, which is done to protect my secrets. However, I don't encode it because of the fear of them stealing it, I do it to keep them from breaking it.

And my clients have asked to not encode things, so I don't. But they do pay extra and for support if they break it. Otherwise, I don't mind doing the bulk work and passing off the shit work to your coders.
