I am not talking about encrypting words inside the php file. I am talking about encrypting the php file so that the source code cannot be seen.
Some of my php files has to be distributed and I don't want others to see my code.

Please help

    ...if you're a millionaire!

    another option is to take the super-secret parts, put them on yer own server and the include() them over the network.

      You can encrypt for distribution between end users but in order for people to run it you can't run it encrypted. Let me qualify that with there is no way at this time that I am aware of to do such a thing.

        thanks.
        I think it seems like what I need.

          Alternative to Zend Encoder exists!

          You can find php encoder for free
          at http://www.rssoftlab.com/

          it works on WINDOWS 9x/NT/XP
          the linux version cost 100$
          source code are available for 500$

          Really cheaper than Zend Encoder isn\\'t it?

          Enjoy 🙂

            Hi,

            What about using a COM object or something?

            I am intersted in putting all my application variables inside an encrypted or compiled file so that the application can only be used on one server.

            Any ideas?

            b.
