Ampare PHP Encoder

Ampare PHP Encoder is a lightweight and simple to use application that can help you protect your PHP scripts. It allows you to encode the source code in such manner that no unauthorized users can read it. The program allows you to obfuscate the code and thus render it unreadable, especially to beginner users.

Ampare PHP Encoder is designed to be used by any users: its minimalistic interface and simple commands allow you to encrypt files with two mouse clicks. The main window features a work space in which you may view the files added to the queue, as well as three command buttons.

You may manage the list of prepared files by appending it or by removing unnecessary files, with the symbol buttons. The program does not support adding files by dragging and dropping, nor loading entire folders.

Ampare PHP Encoder can process your files within a few seconds and allows you to save the result at a specified location. The ‘Encode Now Defa’ button features a double role: starts the encryption process and saves the file when the task is finished.

The PHP code contained in the source file is converted into an apparently random character string, which cannot be used in programming. Moreover, the program can only encode clean scripts.

The program creates a new container for the encrypted code, instead of overwriting the original file. The supported input and output files are *.php format and can be opened with specific programs.

Ampare PHP Encoder can perform the PHP encoding within a few seconds and saves the result at the desired location. It misses a few convenience functions, such as add files by dragging and dropping them into the interface or a shortcut to the output folder. However, the program is lightweight, does not require installation and can process several files at the same time.
