Hi Andreas, For stream filters, check out the zlib and bz2 stream filters in ext/zlib/zlib_filter.c and ext/bz2/bz2_filter.c The filter can't be automatically applied without overriding zend_compile, but I still highly recommend you implement it as a stream filter. Why? You can check for encryption on file inclusion and then append the stream filter to the returned stream inside the zend_file_handle, or disable this in php.ini and decrypt on a per-file basis manually. For an example of zend_compile() interception that does something similar, look at the end of ext/phar/phar.c. In this case, phar's zend_compile override checks for filenames containing '.phar' and attempts to process them as a phar archive, creates a phar stream URL and passes that to zend_stream_open_function to return a file_handle. You could simply call zend_stream_open_function, and then read in the first few bytes of the file handle in the modified zend_file_handle * to determine if decryption is necessary, and then use code something like this to append the filter and compile the file: filter = php_stream_filter_create("my.encrypt", NULL, php_stream_is_persistent(file_handle->handle.stream.handle) TSRMLS_CC); php_stream_filter_append(&file_handle->handle.stream.handle->readfilters, encrypt_filter); return encrypt_orig_compile_file(file_handle, type TSRMLS_CC); where encrypt_orig_compile_file is the saved value of zend_compile_file.
