I need a free PHP encoder/encrypter for a script I am making. Does anyone know any good or half decent ones which cannot be easily reversed. I have seen a few free ones but they can be either easily reversed, or simply do not work very well. Reputation added to anyone who provides a little bit of help.

Sorry, don't want a base 64 encoder as they are a piece of cake to decode. Thanks for the help anyway.
Zend Guard can easily be cracked and there are tons of Zend Guard decoding sites. Use Ioncube its cheaper and much better, i use ioncube myself. I'm also making my own obfuscation script and if you want you can use that when its done.
Security through obfuscation is a no no. It does not fix the problem, or covers it up; as well, it gives the owner a false sense of security.
You are right there are tons of Zend decoding sites but they also support the decoding of Ioncube files on the same site......the difference is in the cost to decode....I could get a batch of ioncube files decoded for less than $5 while the same batch of zend files would cost me $50.... keep in mind that Zend and Ioncube decoding is something people may do to fix glitches after they have bought your script not just necessarily to pirate it.
Chris: what sort of things are you planning for with your obfuscation script? I have my own (originally based on someone else's work) that is linked to in my signature so I wonder if you would like to 'join forces' as it were?
Well to date I've only seen one site that offers ioncube decoding services, and they charge $15/file so i don't know what your talking about, where zend is $5/file plus Zend does not do encryption with their encoding where ioncube does which makes it more secure.... http://www.encodercompare.com/ And Plus theres NO PROOF ioncube can be decoded where there is for zend. For the script I'm planning to sell it when its done. and I might be interested in partnering up. I already have Ip restriction and domain features for it and it currently does compiling and soon Obfuscation.
