Hide Codes

Hi Guys,

please help me again. I have a system that i sell and what i do is that i hosted them. There is a client who requested to have his own dedicated server. Now i want to hide the script so that he/she may not share to others. Its a little bit awkward coz where using php which is a open source . Is this possible. If NO, please help me defend this to my client

Thanks,

Mike

 

You can't read the source code of a php script though. I'm confused what you're talking about.

 

Encode the source files with eAccelerator or other free tool.

Of course you can, they are text files.

 

Hi,

thanks for the response, well in short i dont want to let my client to see the code when i destribute the files. Coz usually, when i sell my bank app, im the on who hosted it, now they are requesting to have their own dedicated server and hence they can play around (modify codes) or share the script to others

Thanks again,

mike

Hi Guys,

this is one im looking for:

http://www.ioncube.com/sa_encoder.php

is there other alternative that is much cheaper or free.

Thanks,

MIke

 

Yeah, i think ioncube will work for me. Here is a sample:

FROM:

<?php
echo "Tes IonCube";
?>

TO:

<?php //003f3
// IONCUBE ENCODER 6.5 EVALUATION
// THIS LICENSE MESSAGE IS ONLY ADDED BY THE EVALUATION ENCODER AND
// IS NOT PRESENT IN PRODUCTION ENCODED FILES

if(!extension_loaded('ionCube Loader')){$__oc=strtolower(substr(php_uname(),0,3));$__ln='/ioncube/ioncube_loader_'.$__oc.'_'.substr(phpversion(),0,3).(($__oc=='win')?'.dll':'.so');$__oid=$__id=realpath(ini_get('extension_dir'));$__here=dirname(__FILE__);if(strlen($__id)>1&&$__id[1]==':'){$__id=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__id,2));$__here=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__here,2));}$__rd=str_repeat('/..',substr_count($__id,'/')).$__here.'/';$__i=strlen($__rd);while($__i--){if($__rd[$__i]=='/'){$__lp=substr($__rd,0,$__i).$__ln;if(file_exists($__oid.$__lp)){$__ln=$__lp;break;}}}@dl($__ln);}else{die('The file '.__FILE__." is corrupted.\n");}if(function_exists('_il_exec')){return _il_exec();}echo('Site error: the file <b>'.__FILE__.'</b> requires the ionCube PHP Loader '.basename($__ln).' to be installed by the site administrator.');exit(199);
?>

So it encrypted my .php...cool

 

How to decoder???

 

big.provider: ioncube and the like use a server side PHP extension to do the decoding. Not a problem so long as you know that your client's host has the right extension...

 

hi,

So how does ioncube works, first you need to have the .exe that encrypts a your .php file. On your server, you will install on what they call loader who reads the encrypted file, you will add a line to your apache (edit php.ini) pointing to your loader. Now the apache can interprete encrypted .php files.
Try there demo version

tnx,
