Manuel: In all fairness to the Zend people, you can get the compiler for $600/year or $50 per month. If it still look too expansive to you, compared to the free perl compiler, there is also a perl compiler that costs $5,000... Anyway here are some other non mentioned solutions: http://www.triplehash.com/content.php?id=26 but has limitations. If you need to protect your code for a small number of clients, you can use the PHP encoder of BadBlue Enterprise: http://badblue.com/helpphpe.htm Also, someone may be able to reverse the PHP code to C and create an exe with it (like Perl) . And last, but maybe the future: Web Services with SOAP?

That is what I said, we just need the glue code to make it work and look as a PHP standalone compiler without needing to build it into the Web server. If APC or whoever working on cache engines wants to cooperate to make such compiler, fine. Nobody will need to pay USD $2400 for distributing binary applications. :-) Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
