PHTML Encoder

PHTML Encoder is a tool designed to encode PHP scripts before distributing them on the web. It keeps all attributes of the code logic and, thanks to cryptography, hides it from other people unauthorized to use it. Encoded scripts can be locked to preset web servers using your machine ID, thus ensuring that the scripts can work only on your computer.

The software application also gives you the possibility to use self-decodable scripts that don't need any modifications made to your PHP installation. Since PHTML Encoder is compatible with multiple platforms (Windows, Linux), it works on all PCs and server platforms with support for PHP. Graphical and command-line versions can be used after setting it up, in order to encode and decode PHP scripts.

When it comes to the interface, the script encoder doesn't put emphasis on appearance, preferring to focus on features. Its look reminds us of early Windows editions. On top of that, the integrated file browser that allows you to navigate disk directories for selecting files to encode and decode is difficult to work with due to its rudimentary design and the way it lists directory paths.

Encoding operations mean picking the source PHP file and indicating the target directory and name of file that will contain the encoded script. Self-decodable scripts can be created optionally. It's even possible to encode all scripts from the same directory at the same time while including or excluding subfolders. The decoding operation is similar since it implies choosing the source and target.

Additional features are available in PHTML Encoder PRO, which permits you to set a preferred password to your scripts, put together evaluation versions, enable copy protecting by binding scripts to an IP address and/or your machine ID as well as view the product's source code.
