PHP Suite TOOLS OVERVIEW:

PHP Minify

Overview

PHP Minify is a tool, that will help you to minify your PHP code. Depending on the structure of your code its overall size can be reduced up to 70%, and the PHP runtime execution speed is increased by up to 10%.

What Does It Do?

PHP Minify removes all new line characters, single line, multiline and also the documentation comments. Thus it keeps code clean and compact.


PHP Compress

Overview

PHP Compress is an application, that will help you to compress your PHP code. It uses the ZLIB compression in order to make the file size smaller. Make sure you have Zlib support enabled on your server.
Warning: Zlib support in PHP is not enabled by default. You will need to configure PHP --with-zlib[=DIR].

What Does It Do?

PHP Compress reduces the size of the PHP code in two steps. First, it minifies the supplied code by removing the new line characters, single line, multiline and also the documentation comments. Thus it keeps code clean and compact. Second it will compress the PHP code using the Zlib compression, and will attach an decompression code to it, in order to allow it on the fly decompression and execution.


PHP Obfuscate

Overview

PHP Obfuscate is an application, that will help you to encode and obfuscate your PHP code. Additionally all the new lines, single, multiline and documentation comments are removed, thus making the output more difficult to reverse engineer. No additional components are required on your server in order to run the PHP scripts. With PHP Obfuscate your intellectual property is protected, while distributing your PHP source files.

What Does It Do?

PHP Obfuscate encodes and obfuscates the size of the PHP code in several steps. First, it minifies the supplied code by removing the new line characters, single line, multiline and also the documentation comments. Depending on your coding style a comment may be crutial for understanding how your code works. Second it will encode the PHP code. Finally it will obfuscate the code output making it extremely hard to reverse engineer it. All the generated code is unique, which makes extremely hard to reverse engineer.


PHP Join

Overview

PHP Join is an application, designed to help PHP developers producing large PHP libraries. Distributing large libraries as one file saves valuable time (up to 10%), which is otherwise lost in runtime file inclusion, especially if the autoloading of classes is being used.

What Does It Do?

PHP Join combines the specified PHP code in one big PHP file. It can be further optimised uisng the PHP Minify tool.
