PHP Compiler

PHP compiler compiles PHP code into exe files for Windows. That way the PHP program actually becomes an application in Windows environment. You do not need to look for IIS or Apache server environment to get the PHP package working.

PHP Compiler can compile PHP project into exe file. The compiled exe file with PHP compiler, is an application program of Windows. There is no need for IIS or Apache server. Normally PHP code runs on a server and thus developers need to give away the source code. By running the PHP through the compiler one can get a application package created and need not provide the source code to the end user. The steps involve are simple. The database and other files that need to be modified by the program should not be converted to DLL but simply loaded by the system. The compiler turns the files into read only. Thus the database and any other file that should remain writable should be marked up. The PHP code is compiled and the marked files are sent into the output file. It compiles the HTML files as well.

This is a tool for developers obviously. The interface is simple and easy to use. Compiling a program protects it from obvious source code. On the left you have the file/folder structure of the resources you are going to use. You specify the output details and the files that are to be marked up. Protecting source code is possible only through legal means such as copyright etc. Compiled code is difficult to decode thereby protecting the code to a large extent. Unless the code package really represents a complete functionality making it into an application may not be meaningful. Thus when to use the compiler to obfuscate your code really depends.

PHP Compiler is the tools which can compile PHP project into exe file.
The compiled exe file with PHP compiler, is an application program of window, which can run without any server (such as IIS or Apache).

Normally, the PHP code can run on web server, but it can't run independently, and you must provide PHP source code to your customer. With this software, you can compile PHP code into exe file, the compiled exe file can run as windows application.
Steps for compile PHP into exe:
1. Import your PHP project : you just select the folder which is your PHP code location.
2. Mark database files : because the database(such as *.mdb, *.sqlite ) must be loaded by system. Other file which may be modifyed should not be compiled into dll file.
3. Compile the project : This step will compile PHP files , html files etc. into exe files. Other marked files in step 2 will be copied into your exported folder.
4. Test the exe file : Run the compiled exe file for test the result.
