    The question about compiling PHP comes up often.

    Have you had a look at something link Zendguard?

    Any licensing script is reversable..... But you can protect it with ionCube latest version as this security is not cheap at all to be reversed...... Its about $10/file and zendguard like stuff is about $1 per file...... So many people won't go and decode the script.....

    Hassan is right, ioncube is another good solution.
    With ioncube you can also compile individual builds so can work out cheaper.

    Ultimately though, remember that if someone wants to copy it they will find a way. Even if it is compiled, they will probably be on forums asking for a clone to be built with same functionality. That's just how it goes.... You have to put out more than just the software to get customers. Customer service, assistance etc.

    Yup just compile in ioncube and if your software is popular enough that it is really being pirated widespread then you have by then made enough money to build a better license system.

    Otherwise I think you will find that using ioncube is 'good enough' security.

      I agree with hassan001, Tradeout and ScottAN; You should use ionCube to obfuscate your files! It's definitely the hardest to decode... or at least, I didn't see any complete solution yet that allow to easily decompile it.

      As for a licensing system, it's easy to develop a custom one from there... Use simple calls to a remote website to get database structure for example; even if one is able to deobscuate your code, he would still be missing the db structure, so your software would be useless!

    Use Iconcube and then have a license validator in your server. So every time the software is triggered do a call to your server where you validate your license. You can actually program the call accordingly (Like once a day / Once a week) depending upon your need.

    Thanks

    KreoZen makes an important point - better to actually grab some important code during validation then just a check, as this is much harder to bypass
