Bcompiler was written for two reasons:
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>To encode some classes in a proprietary PHP application</member>
|
|
<member>
|
|
To enable the production of php-gtk applications that could be used on
|
|
client desktops, without the need for a php.exe.
|
|
</member>
|
|
<member>To do the feasibility study for a PHP to C converter</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
The first of these goals is achieved using the
|
|
<function>bcompiler_write_header</function>,
|
|
<function>bcompiler_write_class</function>,
|
|
<function>bcompiler_write_footer</function>,
|
|
<function>bcompiler_read</function>,
|
|
and <function>bcompiler_load</function> functions. The bytecode files can
|
|
be written as either uncompressed or plain. The
|
|
<function>bcompiler_load</function> reads a bzip compressed bytecode file,
|
|
which tends to be 1/3 of the size of the original file.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create EXE type files, bcompiler has to be used with a modified sapi
|
|
file or a version of PHP which has been compiled as a shared library. In
|
|
this scenario, bcompiler reads the compressed bytecode from the end of the
|
|
exe file.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
bcompiler is unlikely to improve performance very much, as it only
|
|
bypasses the compiler stage of the PHP running process and replaces it
|
|
with the import process in bcompiler. It also does not do any bytecode
|
|
optimization, this could be added in the future.
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
In terms of code protection, it is safe to say that it would be impossible
|
|
to recreate the exact source code that it was built from, and without the
|
|
accompanying source code comments. It would effectively be useless to use
|
|
the bcompiler bytecodes to recreate and modify a class. However it is
|
|
possible to retrieve data from a bcompiled bytecode file - so don't put
|
|
your private passwords or anything in it.
