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.

hi ...
I'm just a beginner in php as a programmer , i was wondered how to protect my code when i upload it for deployment server (for both usual php or laravel code ) any ways to encrypt my code against (reverse engineering tools ) i know that but default (Asp.net) did that powered by the .net framework ,,, does there any solutions to handle this issue ?? waiting to hear from you guys :)
@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.
