There are Ioncube decoders as well.  Pick your poison.

I do like the Mac address and license thing,
but the encryption with ioncube sounds more flexible and less work, i
don't care if the website is copied by users, it have many
dependencies and will be useless.
I only care if it can be open to read ! , inocube sounds like a
winner.

Mac address would be a real pain. Especially if clients want to change
their server. Or a new network card. What if it runs on a webhoster?
I would advise ioncube. ok, It doesn't optimise. But it will be
encrypted. You do need to add the ioncube package to your code.
x-cart.com uses it for their trial version, for example.
It comes with a licence key file creation system.

Re: Can i compile the PHP webpage instead of leaving the source code on the server?

2009-01-05 Thread Mathew

Use the Zend Optimizer as it also makes your code run faster. It
converts your source code into byte code which is the same approach as
the Java compiler. There are decompilers that can revert the code back
into text, but the context of how everything works and all the source
code comments are lost.

If your trying to protect an algorithm then you could store the source
code for the algorithm in a text file that is encrypted with a key
from a license file. Design your license file to include the Mac
address. That should be good enough for most cases. They would have to
crack your encryption, the license file and decompile the source code.

As part of your sales agreement restrict users from using a
decompiler, and add a clause to recover personal damages if they
attempt to reverse engineer your software.

Also, there are more C decompilers out there then there are
decompilers for Zend Optimizer.

Even if you used Python, Java or .NET your going to have the same
challenges.

Re: Can i compile the PHP webpage instead of leaving the source code on the server?

2009-01-05 Thread Aus

Thanks for your answers guys, but see, i'm selling embedded systems
that have a web interface (the value of the product is in the web
application), it's kind of like a lan switch but it's not.

however, that means the users will have direct access to the code
anyway.

so i guess that i have to take out the function and code them in C and
call them from PHP.

is there any easier idea? i don't think coding the functions in C is
very smart.

Hi Aus,

sorry if this is obvious, but it's worth noting that your source code
on the server will not be viewable by any casual user.  Someone would
have to be have either FTP or shell access on the server to be able to
get the source code.

Best,

Pete

Also don't forget that all of these compilers have decoders (Zend
Optimizer too, of course), so they're mostly useless, but cost quite a
lot!

I wonder what precious source code Aus "designed" that it needs to be
hidden? Hmm.

You can, through using an optimiser / byte code generator, for
example:

- Zend Optimiser http://zend.com/store/products/zend-optimizer.php
- eAccelerator http://eaccelerator.net/
