Hiding PHP code
I understand i could use Zend Encoder to be able to distribute my PHP scripts without people being able to see how they work or alter them? I'd like something (at least to start with) that was free or VERY much cheaper, is there an alternative, I've seen some, but I don't quite understand what it is I do with them. Do you write your PHP script and then "compile" it and upload it to your webserver or are these things built into the webserver and you just upload the PHP script and the webserver module "caches" it to save having to re-compile it each time it's needed?
I think what i'm asking is there something I can use to compile my PHP scripts so they can't be modified or re-sold without my permission, but they can still be used on 99% of cheap webhosting webservers.
I don't think i've phrased this very well but I've tried my best.
