Would you purchase a PHP software which is encoded with Zend/Ioncube?

3 replies
Hi Guys,

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I am about to launch my first website and I will be selling my PHP software.

I wonder if you would purchase a web app software which is Zend/Ioncube encrypted? Or should I sell it with the source code?

Your feedback is appreciated.

    I have in the past, it used Ioncube, it just adds an extra pain to installation.
    But also it restricts editing the files too much.
    I'm not a fan.

      Simmeon, thanks for your reply. It's easy to install ioncube extension in these days. It can be done easily with a simple line.

      I've been selling all of my scripts that way for years (Zend Encrypted) to cut down on piracy. Aside from the rare customer complaint, it's never been a problem for us.
      Thanks Mike, I am relaxed now

      This will be my first web app business I hope I can survive and quit from my daily job.

      Cheers.
