Use ZendEncode to write and develop PHP programs

Anyone who applies the working principle of ZendEncode to PHP knows that it is a script programming tool. programs written with it must be placed on the Web server in the form of source code, therefore, we cannot protect our source code. Everyone knows how Zend Encode works for any script program.

People who use PHP know that it is a script programming tool. programs written with it must be placed on the Web server as source code, so we cannot protect our source code. Everyone knows that the performance efficiency of any script program is comparable to that of compiled binary code with the same effect, and its performance efficiency is relatively low. So if there is a tool that will help us compile the program written in PHP into binary code, this will not only improve the performance efficiency,
The operation speed is also accelerated. If there is such a tool, it would be two birds in one fell swoop.

This is not an illusion. Zend Encode is developed for this purpose. it can directly compile the script into a binary code. With Zend Encode, you can compile your PHP program and distribute it to many users without your own source code. The compiled binary code can be transparently read by Zend Optimizer. that is to say, you only need to install Zend Optimizer on its server to execute the PHP program compiled by Zend Encode. The compilation program contains some Zend Optimizer code, so the program code is further optimized during the compilation process, which means the script performance efficiency is improved.

In a sense, Zend Encode is a "PHP compiler ". However, it is not a true compiler, because the truly compiled program can run out of the original compilation environment, and the Zend Encode compiled program, zend Optimizer is required. Just like compiled Java binary code, it must be supported by JVM. Therefore, Zend Optimizer can be viewed as a virtual machine with PHP compiled code. In any case, they need to work with each other.

Currently, Zend Encode supports the following Control Systems: Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows. Zend Encode can be run directly, and PHP does not have to be installed in computer systems.

Zend Encode installation

Download a software package first! Zend Encode is not a free software, it is charged for applications, and the price is quite high. Fortunately, zend.com provides a software package for trial. you can try it for 30 days for free. This package can be obtained directly from www.zend.com. Therefore, the Zend Encode and Zend Optimizer packages must be loaded at www.zend.com. Download an authorization file license. Because Zend Encode is an authorized application product, you need to apply for a license from zend.com. The application procedure is as follows:

To apply for a license for trial use, you need to provide zend.com with the ID of the computer you are applying, that is, enter the host ID in the application page (actually the MAC address of the NIC on your computer ). The method for viewing the computer ID is as follows: download an lmutil. z program from zend.com, decompress it, obtain the program lmutil, and run it. it will generate a sequence string according to the hardware characteristics of the system. Enter the serial number in the host ID on the application license page. zend.com will generate a license for the user within 48 hours and download the license file named zendEncode. dat, which can only be applied on this computer.
