IonCube has been on the market since 2002, was the first PHP Encoder for the mass market, and is very well and widely known. Good thread, but just to pick simon up on these points: If you know the platform you are going to distribute IonCube into, then you can drastically reduce the size by only distributing the one library file that supports your version of PHP/environment. I encode into those two directories (using a subdirectory). I also create a zend and an ioncube directory at this same level. I create a directory for the release and copy the source into a subdirectory. It took me just a few releases to figure out the best way to manage the encoding process. Interestingly, on my two sites, the IonCube version is downloaded more often than the Zend version, even though I have the Zend version listed at the top. If you have total control over the production environment (meaning you can configure PHP to use either), then I would recommend going with the cheaper of the two, IonCube.

However, since I offer both, I wrote my own licensing system that has a demo feature which allows a demo license to be used by code encoded with either product.Д«oth products are simple to use (IMO). Both products have ways to limit their use (IP, time, etc.). I sell my developed products to the masses and, therefore, I offer both. The bespoke nature of my work means that IвЂ™m not terribly worried about the client installing the system on numerous machines at this point, hence why IвЂ™m not worried about license keys etc. Having them ready for when I need it would be very handy though. Things like time-limited samples etc are things that IвЂ™d like to look in to in the future, as are license keys, but at this point IвЂ™m not needing those features. I also want the client to need to get me back in to do any future work

Partially because I donвЂ™t want my hard work copying and being reused (for free or for a fee) but mainly because I donвЂ™t want people who think they know what theyвЂ™re doing tampering and breaking things. What I want to do more than anything is to protect my code.

Originally I was looking to вЂcompileвЂ™ my code and then I was told about Zend Guard and Ion Cube PHP Encoder. IвЂ™ve finally broken in to freelance work, instead of just creating internal PHP for my company, and I want to protect my work. I would like to ask those of you who use one of these about which you think is the better option.
