Is their anything you can put in your code so that your host can't mess around with stuff?

Could you be more specific?

The code that Crispy provides, doesn't that let the person edit the files, but then I have to do something about it, like deleting the file, or something. Is there a way where if they try to edit it, it just won't change at all? Instead of changing, and then punishing the person.

You can obfuscate the data you're trying to protect using some form of two-way encryption; you simply encrypt the data when writing it, and decrypt when reading it. However, that kind of encryption is generally relatively easy to break, should someone make a more-than-half-hearted attempt to do so.
If you do decide to go this route, I recommend you implement the md5() protection as well (that I outlined in that post), for some additional security. That form of protection isn't impossible to break, but it's much harder to do so. | |
