You can create a soap server. I have one set up, the client side runs a function which is translated into xml sent to the other server (in my case over ssl) the other server translates to php, executes the function and returns the results. You create the actual code for the function on the server and give the client details on what the function does and what data it requires. If you build both it is very easy. The client has no other options but to run the function name while supplying the data. ex. server... function pullLatestReport($login,$password,$howfarback) { check db for authentication... if auth correct to run this function run do queries nec. for request return result. else return error } As you can see the server has total control over what gets executed, soap is designed to be platform independant. .net, java etc. can be used as the client. Of course that is only a added benefit since you are making both ends. I use nusoap which is all php and isn't too hard to figure out.

Basic premise is to sell a product written in PHP which people could include on their site but not be able to edit or see the code, maybe by using some kind of include(), url() or snippet method?
