Forging PHP Source

[Anon]

Hello,

We have an application being developed using PHP4. I would want to forge the PHP source code while releasing the application to my customer. This basically means, I should not be shipping readable PHP source code for customers to look into the logic coded. Is this possible to do in any ways ? This is like having java class files forged which will not allow users to decompile and see the source code. Please reply, if there is anything available like this.

Thanks,
Giri

What you need here is the Zend Encoder.
It encrypts your PHP files so they cannot be read/altered and your clients will have to install the Zed optimizer which is available for free. The Zend Encoder is about 100.00 US though.
