Obfuscating/Encrypting PHP

Hi,
I know there are a few free and paid php source code encryption
scripts around. Has anyone used one, and any feedback?

I am interested in encrypting source that is placed on a remote host.

class.rc4crypt.php
from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...s.rc4crypt.php

There is a different version of class.rc4crypt.php out there somewhere,
but i think the above version is easier to understand and work with.

Turn large text fields into blobs so that saved data doesn't get chopped
off.

Encryptying is a bad idea.

You probably want a PHP compiler like RoadSend:

Thanks, Manuel,

Does it work? Have not heard about it before, but then again I was
not in the market for such a tool.

When using Eclipse PHP as IDE/Editor you have an "Export as obfusciated PHP"
function for your PHP projects.
I haven't tried it though...

AFAIK, so far it is the only real PHP compiler. There are also encoders
and obfuscators but there is also the chance to regenerate an useful
copy of the source encoded by these tools.
