Encrypting or Pre-Compiling php scripts...

Post by Benjamin »

I am writing an application that I will be selling in the near future.

I am looking for an easy method to encrypt my PHP scripts or at least turn them into binary so that no one can read them.

I am assuming that the PHP engine can read binary if it can decrypt binary scripts.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I looked at php_screw which is free but it requires that a module be installed and I don't want to inconvience my users.

Thanks.

all the available encryption/precompilation services have:
  1. been cracked
  2. require a module installation or various other inconviences to run
