Can anybody tell me how I can compile my php applications to hide the codes and how I can create a matrix (crosstab) listing with PHP and MySQL Thanks

Hi DevDel,

Far as I know, PHP is not really compiled, as you would C or C++.

What most programmers who are concerned about protecting intellectual property do, is actually encode/encrypt the source code of their applications, before deploying them.

Arguably the most popular of such 'encoders' is Zend Guard, formerly referred to as Zend Encoder. You can find more info here:

Another one is Ioncube Encoder: http://www.ioncube.com/

However, it may be possible to do some sort of 'compilation' of PHP using Visual C++. Of course I am not at all sure about this, but you can read about it yourself here:

Hope that helps.


Matrix
Do you mean a standard matrix/table, for instance, that displays the contents of some fields in a mysql table?

You can as well use these php scripts to enhance you web projects. [url=http://Click here]Click here[/url] http://www.emmaezeali.com/scripts.html

Thanks Xanadu that sure helps. On the matrix issue, i mean, spooling data from two tables, 1 forming the row headers, the other forming the column headers, like d typical x-y axis do you get?
thanks again.
