Help with opening PHP script

[init1010]

Hi all ,

I am new to PHP and I have downloaded some free PHP scripts, but the content of the files is somehow encoded. How can I run the script ? I use Apache server.

Thanks a lot.

You'd have to use the appropriate decoder, of course.

For example, if the script was encoded using Zend Guard, you'd have to install something like Zend Optimizer on your webserver.

shouldn't be 'encoded' if its free, sounds like a corrupt download, or they are zipped (tar\gz)

I've managed to open it. The problem was with WinRar.

Thanks for willing to help.
