RE: [eAccelerator-developers] No Support for eAccelerator?

[Ed B. <Ed...@al...>]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Is it not possible to have the newest version of eAccelerator be able to
decode both 5.0.x and 5.1.x since the code is already written for both?
Why not look for a signature in the encoded script and call either one
decoder or the other.  You already have the Zend and other information
in the encoded data.

I was having a security issue a while back and I added an encryption
step to the Turke mmcache version of the code.  It put a signature in
the first few bytes of the encoded script.  If it didn't find that
signature during decode it just bypassed the decryption step and went
straight to the decoding.

This would eliminate the breakage of all the previously encoded scripts.
Also, this would also allow everyone to step up to your newest version
without a complete recompile of all the code already written and you
would get a much faster adoption of the new version.

I think everyone would like to move to PHP 5.1.x at this point since
5.0.3 is from late 2004.  They will just have to limit their syntax to
PHP 4.3 for compiled scripts in order to keep stability until you have
completed the 5.x encoder port.  Then the transition will be transparent
and painless and most people will already be on the new code base.

BTW, I am using the encoder that came with of 0.9.2a with PHP 5.0.3 and
limiting the function calls and syntax to what is available in PHP 4.3
and everything seems to work just fine.

I am perfectly happy to wait for you to get the 0.9.5+ version of the
encoder to support 5.x syntax.

Just out of curiosity though, is there any schedule for getting the 5.x
version of the encoder working?

Thanks again for your input.

I guess, Bart wanted to point out that there is _NO_ eAccelerator with a
working encoder for PHP 5.x.=20

eAccelerator 0.9.4 is stable for opcode caching of 5.0.x scripts, and
0.9.5 is for PHP 5.1.x.

If you really need an encoder for PHP 5.x you'll have to consider using
the commercial Zend Optimizer/Encoder.
