The Nusphere web site, informs you about the Nu Coder 1.3, a new PHP encoding utility from NuSphere that protects your PHP4 and PHP 5 applications from reverse engineering, unauthorized customization, and other unauthorized usage.

Currently, users of Nu-Coder can encode PHP files using Nu-Coder’s command line interface. For this users require NuSphere PhpExpress to deploy and run the encoded PHP files. PHP Express helps you in two ways—it works with your PHP interpreter to load the compiled PHP bytecodes directly into the PHP engine, enabling your code to run faster. Secondly, it is built in NuSphere PhpDock, which helps you to deploy your PHP applications as Windows desktop applications, says the announcement.

This Nu Coder 1.3 is available for free trial download and online purchase. You can download the free version here.
