PHP 5.3 + ZendGuard Support

2012-05-16 Thread Simon
Hello,

I found a couple of threads on the web about this but no solution.

Am I the only one of few people who needs to run PHP scripts on FreeBSD machine
that were encoded with Zend Guard technology? trying to run linux version of
PHP, which has a ZendGuard loader made for it, or worse linux version of Apache
which loads linux PHP module on FreeBSD is the last thing I want to do. It 
would be
easier to switch to linux altogether, which I'm trying to avoid at all costs.

Has anyone found a solution less of switching to linux for the purpose 
described above?

Is there anything FreeBSD community can do to influence Zend Guard developers
to release Zend Guard loader for FreeBSD?

The company I work for has already at least a few clients who are forcing me to 
switch
them to Linux due to lack of Zend Guard support under FreeBSD.

Any thoughts, comments, would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Simon

probably not, no idea EXACTLY what zend guard is but i've seen other such 
standards of encoding==obfuscating PHP sources. I don't provide services 
like hosting for anyone, while i do support businesses and run their 
servers, and if anyone  offer his/her software in such form i (which 
happened) i just say NO at least, preferably kicking ass.


Don't believe in i use it because i don't my code i worked hard on it to 
be copied by others which actually mean I am simple thief and i copied 
almost everything and not even modified it much as i don't understand it at all, so i use 
encoder/obfuscator to hide it.


Allowing any software without proper source and preferably documentation 
in any business always ends badly.


So really - if you provide hosting service just run linux for that case, 
on VM, and probably charge a bit more for that, or leave such case to 
competition to handle.


in every other case just say no.
