Compiling PHP

[Tegwin]

Is there a way to compile PHP scripts so that I can keep my code safe from Prying eyes. I have written a PHP script which I would like to put onto the company server, but do not want anyone else to see how it is done.

Zend Encoder will suffice for your needs, but you must pay for it.

Remove the crack software link ...

[Tegwin]

I Dont think you should really be putting links to cracked software on here. I dont condone cracking of software, after all I am trying to prevent people from stealing my code, so why should I steal someone elses :-)
But thanks anyway !!!

I am very sorry ...

The link had been removed.
I will never post any crack software here. :|

Be to protect your php code, have a try to PEAR bcompile.
It's a free bytecode compiler for classes.

You can download it from pear site.

Hi,
what about PEAR's BCompiler ?
http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?package=bcompiler

I have never used it though

[Tegwin]

Thanks alll I will look at that..

PEAR::Bcompiler was designed to convert objects into bytecode to be included into procedural code, not to "compile" scripts.

mmm, maybe the thread's title is misguided but I think that in this case Bcompiler could be of some use no?

bcompiler enables you to encode your scripts in phpbytecode, enabling you to protect the source code...

IonCube encoder is only about $0.50 per page, which is cheap for small projects.
