dargpat Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Here's what I have: index.php footer.pgp function.php OK ... so I have a function called get_branding() located in the function.php file. The index.php file will include the footer.php file via include() The footer.php file will call the function get_branding(); Thus displaying in the footer a copyright notice! I know I will encode the function.php file later, but how do I write a code where if someone removes get_branding() or removes the footer completely to deactivate the site or produce an overlay stating they weren't auth to remove branding. (without using zend, ioncube .. etc) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Without using any form of obfuscation it's not possible. Anyone who knows anything about php will be able to remove your code within 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who knows anything about php will be able to remove your code within 2 minutes. Thanks for the advice ... didn't know it was called obfuscation. So using obfuscation what is the best route to go, so that its also compatiable with all servers ... paid service and free service if possible!

trq Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There is no way of obfuscating your code properly and having it compatible with all servers. Using something like ioncude, your users would need ioncude installed on there server. Just get yourself a decent license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawef Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Recently I gave a bad client an ioncube obfuscated code, and the response were a thread for suit or (without saying) a box match … ) so … the main thing is not having bad clients and because you can’t understand them all ... have a nice contract in papers …..

shlumph Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 You may want to look into Zend Gaurd: http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard/ Zend Guard, the most widely accepted PHP encoding and obfuscation product on the market, protects your application from unlicensed use and reverse engineering. Err... it's $600.00/year, so I guess only look into it if you're making a decent amount of cash from your script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also scripts to reverse engineer it (despite their marketing claims). Nothing is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
