Frequently asked questions
General questions
How does PHP protector work?
PHP protector uses hashing functions to convert method and variable names. This makes it really hard to
read/understand your code, but still allows you to keep the line numbers and debug the source code, if necessary.
Is it possible to decrypt the converted function/variable names
The converted source code only contains undecipherable function/variable names.
The only way to decipher it, is to use a complete dictionary to guess the resulting conversion results.
PHP protector also allows you to use a so-called salt, making it even more difficult to decipher the code.
One would have to know the salt used in order to guess the function/variable name.
Do you use bytecode conversion of the source code?
No, we don't use bytecode conversion of your source code, only the function/variable names are altered.
If you like, you can post-process the result and add a bytecode compiler like PHP bcompile.
However, this requires your clients to install the bcompiler module in order to run the product.
What is the difference between the online demo and the full version?
The full version allows you to convert a complete PHP application easily.
It will automatically recursively read directories and convert all PHP-scripts.
You can also configure directories or file names to be skipped.
Additionally, you can define reserved variable names which shouldn't be converted.
