PC Nerd Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi, I've seen and heard a number of people asking how to secure your scripts, so that when you place them on someone elses server they dont/cant copy them to another person - and its sparked my interest as well. There are a few products like the freeware PHP Encoder - and I was wondering what people use ( if any)? The main problem I see with php at the moment is that there isnt any "compiled" version(that I know of...?). Python has your normal .py, and then a compiled .pyc, both of which run perfectly with just a basic python install. However php does not.

Philip Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 @ darkfreaks, Zend encoder (guard) is anything BUT free, haha. Unless you have, what $800 to throw away? I'll admit, I'm quite interested to see if anybody has used any free ones.

premiso Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Even if you do encode it, it can be decoded if someone really wants your script. Sad but true, imo it is not worth the money to encode it with Zend or any other pay per, unless you script is amazingly high priced and high demand.
