I have a quick question about php encoders. I want to be able to protect my project that i have made in php but i dont want to pay almost 1000 for the zend encoder. Is there some kind of FREE encoder or something reallly cheap that can be read by zend optimized servers? I know its kinda a far stretch but im about to release a free version of a program that i have been selling and want to protect it. Since it's free i dont want to spend much on it. hahaha...

Anywho thanks for the help!

You can pay 50c for each file you encode at the ionCube website using the Online Encoder tool

if i did that, would you say that most servers have ioncube installed on them? I want my clients to do as little as possible.

Thanks.

Most "good" hosts will support ioncube but even if they don't you can bundle ioncube loaders with your scripts so they don't actually need to have it installed ;) This is the advantage ionCube currently has over Zend!


CPSCRIPTS

interesting! Thanks for your help!

i guess i'll go with that then.

TurckMMcache is free to use for this.

I would go ioncube though, its cheap and easy for your clients to use the loaders.
