Hello,
I am coding a license system for my scripts (encoded by Zend encoder) and I have a file with the fallowing content:
<?PHP
$toto = 'moto';
define('FOTO', 'JOTO');
?>And I am afraid if some tooot can get the variable and/or constant name and/or value!
Is that possible?!
Many thanks...
I am not really sure if that possible. (nless the guy comes here and looks the code above 
)
Try what happens if I do:
<?php
include("encoded_file.php");
print_r($_GLOBALS);
?>Oh my god! I got the variable name and value 
What about the constant?!
BTW $GLOBALS NOT $_GLOBALS 
<?php
print_r (get_defined_constants());
?>// ya it should have been $GLOBALS 
You saved my life
I used:
unset($GLOBALS);To unset all the variables and it worked, what can I do to unset the constants?!
Please don't say its impossible
Many thanks...

You can't.
They're constant. Hence the name. Like functions, once you create them they stay around.
I thought Zend Encoder had a licensing system built in?
<?php
$arr = get_defined_constants();
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
unset($key);
}
?>unset might not work as it is for variables. could not find any equivalent of it that works with constants
Thanks guys...
What about creating an object instead of a constant. Is it possible to get its content also?!

Actually yes, but I like to use my own way.

Objects are stored in variables so, no, not if you unset it when you're done! (There you go; bundle all your licensing code into a single class and keep all the sensitive stuff as properties within that.)
I dunno if the optimizer does this, but I wouldn't be surprised: if the sensitive values are declared in the class definition itself ("var $foo='bar';") any instances of "$this->foo" in the class definition may be replaced with 'bar' itself - then not only is there no constant with a value of 'bar' but there's no variable either - either inside or outside the class - because it's been hardwired directly into the code!)
