Hi, I am looking for a PHP code encryptor. Maybe I should speak about an "obfuscator", rather than an "encryptor". I would prefer a solution that keeps a perfect portability of the encrypted code (any platform, no special requirements regarding the system configuration). SourceCop looked nice and not expensive but the email addresses and the contact form in the web site don't work. What do you recommend ? Jean-Luc
The only ones that really cannot be decrypted easily is ioncube and zend encoder. Both of these require special installation, and can be a pain to get working. Since the php server must decode the php, it is not really possible to have a secure system that dont require special installation.
Thanks for the answers. I am aware that my requirement of portability means that the encryption/obfuscation will not resist against aggressive decryption efforts, but I hope it would eliminate 95% of the potential illegal copies. For the remaining 5%, I will hire a lawyer if necessary. On the other hand, I see it as a major problem to be dependant on a supplier like Zend or Ion Cube (or any other) each time we want to support a new release of an operating system. I would very much prefer to be able to say: "If your system runs PHP, then it is sure that our application will run on it". Jean-Luc
Thanks. In fact, I discovered it yesterday and tested it this morning. It seems to be what I was looking for. Jean-Luc
