Zend Upgrades IP Protection for PHP Applications
PHP creator Zend Technologies on April 12 introduced upgraded software that helps protect application code written in open-source PHP from hackers and intellectual property pirates.
Zend Guard 4 enables independent software vendors, developers and businesses—anybody who does original PHP programming—to protect intellectual property written in the language. By combining encryption and code obfuscation with license management, the new product offers an unprecedented level of protection, Zend said.
