[olug] PHP obfuscators / compilers?

[Dave Rowe]

I believe we used Zend Guard (this has been a few years) for a
distributed PHP application.  We had full control over the PHP
installation, so including extensions was not a problem.

Our app ran on Windows, with Apache/MySQL and PHP 5.1, and we had no
problems.  The annoying part was debugging with those builds, before
we had a diligent build/SCM process.
