Hey all,
A couple years ago, before I could write my own PHP, I used a
semi-commercial gallery script... Long story short, this gallery script
used a config.dat file with these contents:
<?php exit(); ?>
11001100
01101100
00000100
10001100
00001100
...
... (Picture 1,667 lines of this)
...
11101100
00000100
00101100
11101100
00000100
This config file controlled how a "Powered by Company Name" was
displayed on the bottom of the template page.
So, if you buy the gallery script, which I did (I think I spent like
20$), the "Powered by Company Name" disappears.
Since then, I have always wondered how I could do the same. I am
definitely not a PHP guru, but I can hold my own... There have been a
few scripts I have written for clients where I would have loved to
implement this same technique...
Recently, I re-downloaded the script and tried to break-it-down to see
how it works... I was able to narrow things down to a few methods, a
template page, and a tiny bit more of PHP script... But, it is really
hard to understand how this is done because the config.dat file is
unreadable!
Any thoughts on how I could go about doing this?
How are they making their config files (I am assuming that they
probably wrote a proprietary script to convert PHP code to binary 1's
and 0's)?
Any thoughts and/or suggestions?
If anyone is curious, I can post a bit of the code. Here is a link to
the gallery script:

Does anyone else do something similar? I would love to see some code,
and/or read more about similar techniques....
Thanks all,
Cheers,
Micky
