I’m looking for recommendations for PHP encoders and accelerators.
From what I can tell, APC is the de facto standard for accelerators: http://php.net/manual/en/book.apc.php. As for encoders, I’m still not sure what to consider. Suggestions?
By the way, the encoder is needed to protect some intellectual property. So if there are other solutions, I’m open to ideas.
The most popular PHP encoders I’ve seen have been Zendguard and Ioncube. Neither of them are particularly amazing, but they’re what there is.
Between the two of them, Ioncube has the small advantage of being compatible between PHP 5.2 and 5.3. (Zendguard requires that you encode separate files for the two, which is kind of nasty.)
