Hi Shiplu -

I ultimately settled on PHP Lockit, which is $29. It's a Windows program that 
you run to create an obfuscated version of your script. I'm very satisfied with 
the obfuscation, and it does not require any external runtime files or 
anything. Works like a charm, and I recommend it.

Does slightly limit you to the Windows platform though, which I always

Maybe it'll run under Wine?
I might just try that with a demo version...

Output looks pretty typical for something encrypted/obfuscated. As the
script will run, it needs to unpack itself ... so you can write
automated unpackers for this kind of thing if you want.

Best go with Phpsters advice of the contract, you'd be a lot better
off (assuming the court system works).

OK, I just did the phpPgAdmin index.php page (just something public-domain I had 
lying around):


Here's the original: http://www.pastie.org/pastes/956801
and here's the encoded: http://www.pastie.org/pastes/956803

I haven't yet checked that the encoded version works!

It just obfuscates. Long ago I created a decoder for this type of encoder.
Every day I got 100s of decoding requests.
After changing my domain and hosting company I didn't upload it yet.

I think bcompiler is better.

Totally agree. But just in case it wasn't clear, you only need a Windows 
computer once to run the obfuscator; once done the code runs on any PHP server.

I dont own a windows computer.
I found phpcoder.sf.net. it uses eaccelerator to encode. This is good.
But the problem is latest version of e-accelerator discontinued the
encoder. So may be, an older version will do it.
Didn't configured it yet.

Guys,

This is what contracts are for. You should be licensing the code to  
the users/clients. The contract is a legally enforcable doc that  
protects you.


We do this with classic ASP code and have not had any issues at all.  
Moving to another language is no barrier.


The one thing to remember about altering the code is that when, not  
if, you need to maintain it and your dev machine with all the toys is  
not available, it's gonna be a pain to deal with.


A good contract will help you to avoid all that.

Its not a problem if data can still be extracted. But I guess exact

If thats the case its okay. Sometimes an obfuscated code is enough to
protect it.

As far I remember I heard somewhere it can be achieved by e-accelerator somehow.
How is it possible?

I have to ask, why do you want to do that? Wouldn't it be easier to
offer your application as a system that only you host. That way, the
