But shouldn't you be able to unlock the code or something? What does Zend say about this?

Ah... so since you don't specify a password or anything, the encryption is meant to be unreversable except by other Zend products.

Hmph. So we have to reverse engineer Zend Optimizer and determine how they parse the code. But that's illegal, isn't it?

yup. And now count the times you've actually seen PHP code you are so impressed with you wanted to see the original source.

See, I only have one finger on both hands as well. Worth the effort? No, sir.

Not only that - you have to be that impressed AND the original source ISNT available.

Thats zero in my book. In fact, I've only seen *one* piece of php software that I even found interesting that was encoded/encrypted. And I didnt want to see the source.

Even if I did, under copyright law, I couldnt use it.

Besides all the legal reasons...

Who in their right mind would advertise a tool that might potentially screw themselves over if they ever try to sell encrypted code?

Even if such a product existed and I knew about it, I doubt I'd share. Sorry.

I don't PHP for fun. :wink:
