can i create .exe file of my .php file

[vishal]

is there any way using which i can create .exe file of my php files.

actually i am putting my php files on a web server and i don't want my
files to be copied and modified by someone else/even not by
administrator of web server.

if i am putting php files then administrator has right to copy file and
he may modify it as per his requirements..

if i put exe file then he can't modify file.

if there is any other alternative to solve this problem then let me
know.

In a binary format similar to .exe, yes.

Zend makes an encoder to go along with their long list of PHP products:

Heya, not sure if this is exactly what you need or even what you want
but have you tried the PHP bytecode compiler?

That's a link to a Canadian mirror may be slower for you if you're on
dialup. Also the previous poster, Nathan, has a good link.

Yes. You need a PHP compiler. I am aware of three PHP
compilers working on Windows: Roadsend, Phalanger, and
ActiveSiteCompiler.

Then you probably don't need a compiler; you need an encoder,
such as Zend or Turck MM_Cache. You can use a compiled
applicatiion if you want to, but you will have to have
Windows hosting with a cgi-bin, which may be expensive...
