Re: [PHP] Zend Guard/Optimizer alternatives?

I need something that's rock-solid and that will never require my users to have to know anything or do anything special (they are business people, not developers or server admins). use a legal contract. or make the functionality dependent on a webservice hosted on your server (and stick the meat of the functionality on your end). or get a client you can trust not to rape you.

There is this pecl extension that I tested once and it works: http://pecl.php.net/package/bcompiler Your users won't need to do anything special if you encode the PHP projects that you host (in case I am getting this right).
