How do I secure my PHP code from being seen using some unlock code?

[jason310771]

I have once or twice seen some PHP site code in the past that you needed a unlock code to use it and the code was completely unreadable.

 

Can anyone suggest how I could do this to my own code ?

Any sites that offer this service or software that I can buy to convert my code to this protected format.

ioncube and zend encrypt but there are many programs that do it high priced and low prices some easy to reverse and some hard but if someone wants the code it can be reversed in the end maybe not today but maybe tomorrow.

i think you are talking about the hashing process. md5 can be a good keyword to start with

No, that isn't what the OP is talking about at all. He's talking about securing his code from being human readable.

Google for "PHP Code Obfuscation"

But in the end its not really worth it, when the PHP interpreter can read the code a decompiler could too.

Obfuscation has nothing to do with compiling.

Read again bro

Read what?

 

Compiling is in effect obfuscation in itself but the intended purpose isn't to hide the true meaning, its to create machine code so it can be executed... feel free to enlighten me with why else we compile code.

Compiler != decompiler. The former is to make things machine-readable (and/or quicker to execute), while the latter is for making obfuscated/compiled code human readable again.
