Subject: Protecting Code in PHP
hi all,

how to protect my code in PHP? i put my code in public domain and i don't want to

anybody to open the code ...it's on Linux any a person who got right only can

open..but i don't even want to take that takes place. i know there are so many

encoders available i can encode the code with that....but i want to know whether

any mechanism is available with PHP itself so taht it can decode the encoded code

by itself... pls help me..
thanx in advance
ckb


I can't give the server's admin the right to

see the content of the file, so.. it would be better for it to be encripted.

PHP coding can't be stolen. The PHP script is actually a command scripting given to the server and the server will generate the HTML Coding to be visible in the browser. Soon, it is absolutely NOT possible for Viewer to steal the code unless they access by FTP as they don't have access to the server script ...

IF you are talking about FTP , then try using another FTP account

The point is a user viewing the php file on the server (typing in the url in the address block) that it wont output any PHP code.

BTW, you should really change your name, that can be fairly offensive to people... one of which being me.

hi ,


i know php code can'be stolen from seeing thru browser , but i don't want to see the code by another person also who got ftp account on server....(like exe of a program or fmx files in oracle)
is ther any way in php itself other than using zend encoder or something like that?

[ermau]

Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I know have seen competitors for Zend. Haven't seen any that are free, most are fairly expensive.

[Jerome]

Zend Encoder is too expensive to those setting up personal site.

It is usually for those commericial scripting site and of course , will be like those highly secured ones ...

so, you can just relax about it ... anyway i am interested to know know you can actually steal PHP script , GOD , can you explain to us ?

[ermau]

Only way you could is if you have access to the FTP server, otherwise it's impossible. Period.

thank you alot Jerome for this information ... by the way i think Zend Encoder too big to upload in my site & like Jerome say it is too expensive .
i hope some one give us a small script to Protection php files

Try this:

http://www.ioncube.com/online_encoder.php

The ionCube online encoding service is a unique alternative to purchasing an encoder. Encoding costs from as little as just US $0.50 per job, and is ideal for users with modest or occasional encoding needs. The online encoder has the same important features of security and runtime performance as found in our standalone encoder product, and you can use the online encoder to:

Encode a single file.
Encode an archive containing PHP scripts and any other file types.
Make FREE test encodings or a pay-to-download encoding.

you are welcome, united-hosts

anyway , that ioncube PHP Encoding seem interesting

thks for the link
