"WOW! I must say that PHP Accelerator is one of the best pieces of software that I have used in a long long time. ... Simply Amazing!" - Sumbry
Faster PHP in an Instant
The ionCube PHP Accelerator is an easily installed
PHP Zend engine extension that
provides a PHP cache, and is capable of delivering a substantial acceleration of
PHP scripts without requiring any script changes,Windows 7 Professional Key, loss of dynamic content, or
other application compromises.
Unlike scripting languages such as Microsoft ASP1, compilation of any unchanged scripts is entirely eliminated when PHPA is installed,office 2010 serial, and so
a typical PHP request incurs no compilation overhead at all.
PHPA is free, and not only the top performing non-commercial solution of its kind, but also a
match for the commercial alternatives. Delivering typically up to a 5 times speed gain and with
a near 10 times speed-up measured with some Smarty
based applications, sites such as
Yahoo! have found PHPA to be the ideal
PHP script caching solution. The testimonials
give some user reactions to PHPA.
The PHPA project is now well established, and remains ongoing and
active in its aim to offer the PHP user community with not only the most
desirable and effective acceleration technology, but also thorough, timely and
detailed support. (Read some support testimonials)

PHPA Version 1.3.2 Revision 2 Released (8 Aug)
This revision to release 1.3.2 makes setting up PHPA easier, removing a step
that has been required in all earlier releases (many thanks to Yahoo! for
providing this change), and now ships a tuned version
of the Accelerator that can deilver higher performance than regular
libraries on some platforms. The standard library is provided as well.
The main change in the release 1.3.2 family is the removal of activation keys, and
there are a few enhancements and minor bug fixes.
The ionCube PHP Encoder goes Live! (22 July)
The ionCube PHP Encoder has finally hit the web, and offers the first truly cost effective PHP encoding solution
for code protection and data hiding. Through the convenience of a unique
online portal, the service offers the
best combination of simplicity,Office Professional 2007, price and algorithm protection of any PHP
Encoding product available in the marketplace today. Key features
are compiled
code encoding rather than the more common source code hiding,
a decoder extension for full support of normal and PHP safe mode execution,
fast encoded files (faster than raw source in early benchmarks), full PHP
compatability, and compatibility with the next release of PHPA.
The next PHPA, version 1.3.2, is planned to be released this week,
and along with minor updates, is designed to provide secure interoperability
with the encoded file decoder by not caching encoded files; it would be a security risk to do so. Version 1.4 of PHPA is likely to support secure caching of
encoded files if this was chosen at encoding time.
Activation keys to be removed! (21 June)
Since its introduction, the PHPA activation key has been a controversial
feature,Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key, but a vital part of the
continuing process of product improvement for PHPA. Not only has it been a
useful measure of interest in PHPA, it's been integral to the process of
obtaining feedback, and having people's experiences be used as part of a continuous improvement process.
However as PHPA has matured, they have served their purpose and all
releases from 1.3.2 onwards will be 'activation key free'.
PHPA to support Encoded PHP Files (18 June)
There's a new and interesting PHP Encoder project on the horizon, and version 1.4 of PHP Accelerator will be including support for accelerating the encoded files of this new encoder. There
are a number of encoders on the market, offering different degrees of protection and features, and varying vastly in price. This encoding solution
is rather different from
them all, and by offering online encoding,
is possibly the future for people looking for an affordable but secure
encoding solution.
To capture the relationship of both PHPA and
PHPE, ionCube has been specially created to carry
both these and other products into the future.
Yahoo! go with PHPA (13 June)
Yahoo!
have been testing PHPA for some months whilst exploring PHP caching
solutions, and have
selected PHPA
as a caching solution for PHP projects.

1Microsoft have introduced a concept of
"Dynamic Compilation" that claims
to improve the performance of ASP within the .NET framework, although not
for regular ASP 3.0. However one should note that this statement still contains the word compilation. PHP with PHPA has quite simply
no compilation for unchanged scripts, and may well be the preferable technology and choice.
