Everything's crackable ... but what's the best option ?
the legal dept will ensure strict usage policy and hold businesses accountable for leaks. But we still need some level of technical protection.

There's a deZender thing floating about that any idiot (no brains needed) could use on it.

According to their website PHPShield is the same as sourceguardian which is cracked by deZender !

phpSHIELD is a premier php Encoder product, originally developed in 2003. In 2006 phpSHIELD joined forces with Inovica Ltd, developer of the SourceGuardian PHP Encoder and we integrated our system with theirs. Our two PHP Encoding products are similar, but they target different markets.

Why do you want to keep him from reading it or modifying it? Don't encode your software!

**qw12er** · 12-01-2010, 07:57 AM

because I need to put the files on their server ...

Chances are that he really has no interest in cracking it.
If he does, he'll find a way around it, no matter how you encode it.
So to make it ever more difficult for him, why don't you obfuscate the h*ll out of it? And apply plenty of evals where possible, as well. That would at least give you the satisfaction of knowing that it'll be a pain in the *ss for whomever's going to crack it.

A word of advice on that: remember to keep an unobfuscated copy for yourself ;) hehe

i agree, the best way to protect your software is a shift of your thinking about it.

why not let them read and modify, probalby not going to harm you that much, if anything they will see how good of a coder you are hire you more.

i've always been against software encoding. if you are worried about them copying it, attatch a license in there and put it public on a website or something.
