As a precaution i have decided to be placing my adsense codes in php files. What do you think about this?
The code still ends up in HTML that can be copied.
I recently reported a page I found stolen to AdSense, complete with my AdSense code, tracking code and everything. AdSense support shut the ads on that page down ASAP, very nice of them.
Best I can recommend is installing some AdSense tracking scripts on your pages so if they're sloppy when they steal your pages at least you'll see your ad tracking code loading via a 3rd party server and get a clue where to go looking to stop them.
Thre's no way to give a definitive answer to every scenario that could occur, but I'm sure Google is well aware of this possibility.
Easy to get around that. View/Page Source in Firefox, etc., etc.

I have thought about this but it's not a foolproof method, people can always save the page and open it up in MS Word for example.
Back to topic: I wouldn't spend too much thoughts on that, this is Google's job and I think they are aware of that.
How will PHP help you?
You can put your adsense code in a .js file. ONLY allow access to that .js file if a page from within your site calls it. No one can see the code at all.
well we would like to hear how the big players protect their sites and pages.!
Why do you need to protect yourself?
Anyone anywhere at any time can get to your code. They don't have to copy it. All they have to do is find one line and paste it into their own code and they'll be able to do what you're talking about doing. You can't protect yourself from that. You can't guard against it. If you have the type of website or run with the sort of people that would require you to guard against this then don't be surprised if google bans you anway - whether you're responsible for the invalid clicks or not - just to get rid of you and not have to deal with it anymore..
There's a saying, "you're known by the company you keep."
I'd say that's especially true on the internet.

Totally ridiculous.
Javascript is executed in the browser. If a browser can access your scripts, then anybody who wants to have a look at them can see them.
They might need to save the page or use

(a) It would also stop maybe 10% or so of people from seeing your ads at all. There's no reason to cut your income by that much over a minor issue like this.
(b) It's against the terms of the AdSense agreement. Google don't allow you to change the code in any way.

Putting your js into an external file? How?

The referrer.
Oops. Of course.

How about if your competitior(s) decided to do that?

That's a good point, but technically, you're not changing the code. With Google, you WILL lose that battle though.
In other areas, the competition may be much dirtier, and if you're in such an area, and being click-attacked, hacked, and so on, it's certainly possible that Google or another PPC company might not want to work with you. They don't want high-maintenance accounts.
porn or free Porn is bad but the warez is worse
warez sites: what they do is pirate popular commercial software and sell to the public via Internet. Use and distribution of warez (wayrss) software is illegal ( win a free lunch in Dayton prison )
But nothing "on-par" with worst online gambling sites.
