Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce the opening of a new site and a free script here at http://www.freephpencoder.com. The site offers a free php code obfuscation and encoding service that allows people to distribute workable encoded php files for free.

Steps to encoding are extremely simple, simply upload the unencrypted file, download the encoded file, and you are ready to use the file (with the decryptor).

Many more features are planned to implemented with different encoding algorithms, but currently the free service currently utilizes the Zend engine for decoding. A byte encoding feature is currently being developed, and will be released shortly.

More information regarding this can be obtained from my community site:
