Encypting PHP Code?

Hey there,

Do you happen to know, if possible, how I can encrypt this PHP code so that it cannot be modified by the client? I think I've seen it before.

Thanks

Ben

I'm sure if you googled you'd find it pretty quickly.

I belive there is a ZEND product that encrypts the code.. can't quite remember the name.

thjeres lots of them. i would go look at the zend one, i heard its pretty hard to crack. i forget the name of the one i played w/, but i downloaded a prwritten script for something once and it was encrypted. i waned to see the source so i went to the website of the company that encrupted it to see what it was about. they wanted like $60 to do thier encryption on a script, so it def wasnt a cheap one....

i cracked it in about 2 hours :) it was pretty lame, because im no means a hacker.

it was just a bunch of str_replace, for loops, eval, and includes.

Thanks guys,

yes, checked out the zend one but it's a bit more then what I'd like to spend.

A couple I found from searching in some forums were:

http://www.ioncube.com/
http://www.sourceguardian.com/

Anyone used these or can anyone recommend some other software below the $300 mark?

Cheers!

Just curious to why you would need one... I mean, the only way you can get a script is through FTP, right?

He gives away his code to his clients, what in this case is client=customers :)

That's correct, plus I am adding an unlocking key to the script so it can't be used on other servers other then the ones I allow.

Thanks
