I use it sometimes - it works just fine - but require ZendOptimizer installed on server...

the only problem - that you will not be able to change files directly on server - they will be encoded - you will have to have local unencoded versions - make changes there - encode them - and upload on server

I've tried it - and didn't like it...

I got:

File ixed.4.0.6.pxp was not found - execution has been stopped.

While the authors said that it require no alterrations to PHP installation, and I have the latest version. The script requires ixed.pxp and where to get it - I don't know.
