How do u encode php script for use on server with php-accelerator?

TheIceman5

My webserver i run my scripts on has php-accelerator installed and I have visited www.ioncube.com to find out how to encode php scripts. It tells me ok but the thing is it only tells me how to do it using linux, i dont have access to linux.
Does anyone know of a program that will encode my php files from a windows environment so that they will run on my webserver running php-accelerator?

buy the zend encoder from www.zend.com

zend encoder will not work with php-accelerator, already tried it, zend optimizer needs to be installed on the server and they wont install it on the server as it already has php-accelerator.

u know some friend (who u can trust) who plays linux

Well, if your using the ionCube PHP Accelerator, you may as well use the ionCube PHP Encoder.

You're probably not going to find any other solution for Windows, since it's not really the development system of choice, especially for PHP.

well zend do a windows encoder, its dumb for ioncube not to. How many people actually use linux to do their coding on? i dont know anyone, they all use windows then upload to a unix webserver once its completed.
If ioncube dont provide a way for windows users to encode their files using their product then they will be missing out on a big market share in my opinion.

I actually use Maguma Studio and map my drives or use ftp to edit the files on the server. This allows me to use the real operating environment for development. Then, when I'm ready, I alter my Apache conf to start using the development site live.

Besides, there shouldn't be any problem coding your site in Windows without the Accelerator and then putting it on an Accelerator enabled server. That's the one of the nice things about the Acceraltors from Zend and ionCube. They operate in a middle layer so you never have to change your code if you start or stop using it.

i do write my scripts on my windows computer and i do upload them to the php accelerated server but i want to encode them so no one else can see the code if they happen to be able to access my scripts.
e.g. this is the code that i currently upload.

<?
echo"this and that";
echo"do it again";
echo"and again";
echo"etc....";
?>

what i want to do is encode it so the file will resemble

when its opened in notepad or something and then upload it to the phpaccelerated website so it can decode it and run it an give the exact same output as the first script.

I needed to distribute encoded php scripts from a windows development environment. I settled on a solution based on mmcache. Its easy to setup, works on cgi and isapi.
Email me if you require assistance ??
