RE: [PHP] Zend Encoder

Hi, Allow me to clear the air: 1. Zend does not have a way to decode a php file that was encoded using Zend Encoder. (For those of you paying attention to details, note the word "decode", not "decrypt". Zend Encoder does not encrypt. US gov't lawyers, please take note :) 2. Even the inherent knowledge that Zend has about our own product would not enable us to access encoded software. At most, we theoretically could develop code that could access some of the string elements in a script, but definitely not any actual code. (As a comparison, it would be like looking at a .EXE file in Windows, but even more convoluted.) Needless to say, even this minor capability has never and will never be developed or utilized by Zend. 3. Zend Encoder is the most secure way to deliver php code. That said, no protection scheme is absolutely 100% protected.
