1. Changes in Zend Guard
=====================================================
1.1 Changes in Zend Guard from version 5.5 to 6.0
=====================================================

* Full support for PHP 5.4
* Dropped Support for PHP 5.2 ( Guard 5.5 should be used )

================================
2. Known issues and Limitations
================================

General:
--------
* Encoding/obfuscation for PHP 5.4 is not compatible with PHP 5.3 and
earlier releases, and vice versa. That is, a file encoded to run on PHP 5.3
will not be loaded on PHP 5.4 and vice versa.
Workaround: Encode your application separately to run on PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4.


Encoding:
---------
* Relative names do not work with --ignore and -?exclude-file
* Using inexact file names (different cases, / instead of \, or not full paths)
does not work with --ignore and --exclude-file (Windows only)
* "Work only with encoded files" option does not work if it is not applied for all files
* Extending stdClass gives a blank output when a file is encoded

Obfuscation:
------------
* Using mbstring.func_overload with obfuscation requires exporting functions
that are overloaded.

Class Obfuscation:
------------------
* Implementing PHP interfaces (such as Iterator) requires exporting
interface methods
* Autoloading does not work for obfuscated classes (due to different class
names)
* Obfuscating class and function names can break any code that accesses a function
by string, such as calling a variable function like $func(), or calling a PHP
internal function to access a class/function as a variable, such as
call_user_func($func), etc.
* --export-php may not automatically export some SPL iterator classes

============================
3. Installation Instructions

Zend Guard Loader 7.0.0 is the latest version and it's available for PHP 5.5 and 5.6 in CustomBuild 2.0. Zend Guard is a different product, it's used for encoding PHP files (http://www.zend.com/en/products/guard) and it's not available in CustomBuild script at all :)
 
Zend Guard Loader failing to validate Application license

Hi Guys

I have an application with files encoded by ZendGuard-5_5_0. If i run "php -v" i get:
PHP Warning: Module 'mbstring' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Directive 'register_long_arrays' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Directive 'register_long_arrays' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2013 02:51:11)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
with Zend Guard Loader v3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2010, by Zend Technologies

My /etc/php.ini contains:

[Zend]
zend_loader.license_path=/path/to/license.zl
zend_loader.obfuscation_level_support=3
I did not put "zend_extension=/path/to/ZendGuardLoader.so" in php.ini because its already loaded in /etc/php.d/zendguard.ini.

I have generated several licenses (still counting) for my application from ZendGuard-5_5_0, and my file.inc file is returning the default invalid license error. A summary of my file.inc file is as follows:

$lic_info = zend_loader_file_licensed();
If (!$lic_info){
$error=invalid license;
exit();
}

I installed zend guard loader usingcd php-zend-guard-loader-5.5.0-3.el6.art.x86_64.rpm.

My main problem is zendloader seems not to be reading my generated license files for my app.
