I have a bluehost account and I have the option of using ioncube, source guardian, or neither. What is the benefit of encoding the php if the end-user can’t see the source anyway? Are there other benefits other then encoding?
Is ioncube preferred to source guardian?
thanks,
me
PHP code obfuscation is generally used when you need to license a PHP application to someone else. You don’t want the person getting the code to install on their server to be able to easily copy the code.
