I should mention that I did try the ionCube online encoder, which I
think is a great idea... but its runtimes failed to load on both of my
test systems, requiring editing of php.ini. That's over the top for my
users. I need something that's rock-solid and that will never require
my users to have to know anything or do anything special (they are
business people, not developers or server admins).

Is there a cheaper alternative to Guard/Optimizer? I have a single

anyone's standard PHP server. Zend's $600 was a little bit of sticker
shock. Any alternatives?
There is this pecl extension that I tested once and it works:

Your users won't need to do anything special if you encode the PHP
projects that you host (in case I am getting this right). But there are
no magical solutions to anything.
