I would say the zend encoder is probably the most popular. This would also require an interpreter on your server to understand the encoded coding.

I'm sure if you searched php encoder you'll come up with some other encoders, such as ioncube.

I'd say from the output that there is a good chance it is NOT encoded. It is probably being compressed (likely with gzip) twice - once in the script, and once on the server.

thats neat. its exactley what i want, but my total income this year so far is $960 (actually less then that)

im kind of perplexed how this works. basically i encodes the script on my computer, then the server i host it on decodes it? and being that zend is most popluar, the majority of hosts willl support it.

what would happen if i google it and find some kind of freeware encoder?
