Advantages of PHP Over Java is an article that explains the more uses of PHP over Java for generating web pages. Web programmers who familiar with C,C++ or Java are frequently opt PHP script that can be programmed in few hours easily. PHP is designed specifically for web development gives it an edge as a development tool, remarked by the popular intranet Design Magazine. PHP is built with the needs of Web developers and this script solves complex problem scenarios faster and easier than comparable technologies. This article reveals that most of the web programmers are utilising PHP scripts because of its simple and easy nature.

PHP Source Code Encoders/Protectors
What are PHP Encoders?
PHP Encoders are programs designed to protect your intellectual property by encoding and/or obfuscating PHP application source code, and optionally providing license management, limiting installations to target server/domain/IP, and providing time limit features (useful for trial versions).
Why do I need to encode PHP sources before the distribution?
Distributing unencrypted PHP applications is not secure. Source code can be easily copied, changed, partly used in another application whithout you being notified or credited. Moreover providing product sources makes your application more vulnerable, since source code may reveal some weak points of your application.
What solutions are currently available on the market?
If you consider the PHP Encoding market, solutions broadly fall into:
* Source Code Obfuscators
Source code is obfucated to make it hard to understand and make any changes. Example of obfuscation can be removing line breaks, spaces, comments, renaming variables, function names, etc. where applicable, as well as very simple source code encoding. Restoring obfuscated source code is trivial. These solutions are truly insecure, can result in sever performance degradation, and don't offer 100% code compatibility. None the less such solutions do have a place in the market and are suitable for some people (mostly because they are cheap, about $20, or available for free). You'll find a bunch quering search engines for "free php obfuscator".
* Encoders
Obfuscate (some can also optimize) PHP source code, compile it to bytecodes, and eliminate the source code. Such solutions are stable and extremely hard to reverse-engineer. Depending on the solution price these will provide you with options to manage licenses, generate files to expire on a given date or after a time period (trial period).
Roughly saying solutions of this type consist of two main parts:
o Encoder - program which obfuscates, encodes/encrypts source files
o Loader (decoder) - these programs are designed to decode encrypted sources and feed PHP engine with decoded sources to execute. End user will need to have decoder (loader) installed on their server in order to be able to run your encoded application. Loaders are available for free download.
