ASP.NET does not encrypt the code. It's just a compiled language.

PHP is a dynamic language, so you can't compiled it to a binary.

You can use something like IonCube? Your English is quite bad so not sure why you want to encrypt the data.

You shouldn't want to compile your PHP code. Just use a server only you have control over. At my workplace, we demand from our customers that either we host the site or they provide us with a server only we have access to.

@fares_ibrahim You can’t. Your PHP needs to be decrypted to be compiled into byte code any way. And whatever encryption method you use, some one will find a way around it.

Instead, just deploy the code to a server you trust and control.
