That instantly restores the

IMHO The best way as a contractor to protect yourself against dishonest
companies or people is a contract. However, there maybe a simple method to
programmatically help.
Put something like this in the top of each of the pages that have common
functions
PSUDO CODE
I like this idea...

That's exactly what you need :) Have some core functions that are remotely
accessed.
for example:
$result =
file(http://www.myserver.com/functions/square_root.php?input=4;);
Then at www.myserver.com the square_root.php file would contain:
?
echo sqrt($input);
?

As long as you realize that any method like this is just going to be

This thread was started to discuss how a contract programmer can protect

It only takes one person with some free time to break your protection
scheme, and then the cat's out of the bag.
