Quaestor2000 Ltd has just released version 1.0 of its PHP Encoding Assistant. The Assistant is particularly intended for developers wishing to deploy PHP applications on the Windows platform without on the one hand having to package everything in an .exe file and on the other distributing clear-text PHP files open to modification by all and sundry. Using Bcompiler as the backend, it enables developers to compile all PHP5 files to compressed bytecode, thus giving protection from unauthorised intervention by end-users and malicious hacking. The particular attractions of this modest application are 1) It is about ten times cheaper than competing products (only £9.50 for six months); 2) PHP source code to be compiled needs no modification and deployment requires only the presence of a single, readily available PHP extension in the runtime environment. For more information on this product, which has just been released, see http://www.quaestor2000/faq.php?cat_id=2.
