Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Many PHP developers need to protect their application source code before they distribute it to their customers and make it difficult for others to modify it without their permission.

- There are couple of techniques to protect PHP source code:

    - Making the code difficult to read – which involves in minification & obfuscation
    - **Encoding the source code.**
- There are list of commercial PHP encoders (Zend, ionCube, SourceGuardian, NuCoder, etc).
- A free encoder called **phpBolt** saves you from buying commercial encoders. phpBolt helps to protect your PHP source code by encrypting and decrypting code using a key.

### Benifits of Encoding

[](#benifits-of-encoding)

- Anyone can reuse your PHP script to any web server or localhost. phpBolt will encrypt your source code with a key.
- Advance Protection -- Generate a specific key for each customer.
- Online Encryption -- Encrypt source code from online also possible.
- Encrypt PHP source code and obfuscate the PHP source code.
- Prevent your PHP product from the nulled world.

phpBolt encoder
---------------

[](#phpbolt-encoder)

- The author doesn't care about issues! The author will help you only if you pay for that. (he cannot provide free support)
- phpBolt loader is an extension used to load PHP files protected and encoded using PHP encoder.

### Guide

[](#guide)

1. **Download phpBolt extension for 64-bit System**

    - In order to use phpBolt, you need to [download loader extension](https://phpbolt.com/download-phpbolt/). Look for `bolt.so` inside the corresponding platform folder. ([extension](./assets/phpBolt-extension-1.0.5.zip))
    - Or, directly using following wget command:

        ```
        cd /tmp
        wget https://phpbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/phpBolt-extension-1.0.5.zip
        ```
    - Then unzip the downloaded file using the unzip command and move into the decompressed folder.
    - This is a mandatory step. Because PHP engine needs to identify then functions `bolt_encrypt` and `bolt_decrypt` functions.
2. **Install bolt.so extension for PHP**

    - There will be different phpBolt loader files for various PHP versions, you need to select the right phpBolt loader for your installed PHP version on your server.
    - Next, find the location of the extension directory for PHP version **8.2.25** (for example), it is where the phpBolt loader file will be installed. The specified directory from the output of this command:

        ```
        php -i | grep extension_dir
        # output:
        # extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/20220829 => /usr/lib/php/20220829
        ```
    - Copy `bolt.so` from the respective platform folder into the folder where all PHP extensions are stored. In my case, `/usr/lib/php/20220829` was the folder that stores all PHP extensions.
3. **Configure phpBolt Loader for PHP**

    - Find the `php.ini` file and add `extension='/usr/lib/php/20220829/bolt.so'` in `php.ini` file. Then restart your server. Please choose correct `bolt.so` file. `bolt.so` is diffrent for each version and OS.
    - Open `php.ini` as following: `sudo nano /etc/php.ini`
    - Add `blot.so` extension: `extension='/absolute-path/bolt.so'`
    - **Note:**

        ```
        You will be encrypting using CLI,
        then you have to add extension in: `/etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini` file,
        and in: `php/8.2/apache2/php.ini` file to decode the source code.
        (**Don't forget to restart server**)
        idem for FPM

        ```
    - Remember to replace absolute-path with the path of the extension. In my case: `extension='/usr/lib/php/20220829/bolt.so'`
    - Now we need to restart the Apache, Nginx, or php-fpm web server for the phpBolt loaders to come into effect.
    - Now you have successfully setup bolt loader extension.

Protect Larave Source Code
--------------------------

[](#protect-larave-source-code)

- It is based on phpBolt extension, it encrypts your php code with phpBolt.
- To install and use it in your Laravel project, follow this guide [Installation](#installation).
- There is no way to encrypt blade files. (*blade files are not real PHP files*)

    - [Blade file is not decrypted](https://github.com/SiavashBamshadnia/Laravel-Source-Encrypter/issues/21)
    - [Cannot convert resources/views folder](https://github.com/SiavashBamshadnia/Laravel-Source-Encrypter/issues/20)
- There is no way to decrypt the source code, the **only one who will have the source code is you**.
- You may face some problems/issues when you use encryption commands:

    - [failed to open stream: No such file or directory](https://github.com/SiavashBamshadnia/Laravel-Source-Encrypter/issues/13) (*just modify the `Laravel-Source-Encrypter/src/SourceEncryptCommand.php` file*)
    - You may run the encryption command and everything went well, but you got an exception about `.gitignore`. You don't have to worry about that. Keep going and ignore that exception.

Installation Package
--------------------

[](#installation-package)

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Require the package with composer using the following command:

```
composer require --dev rezgui/laravel-source-encrypter
```

### Step 2

[](#step-2)

#### For Laravel

[](#for-laravel)

The service provider will automatically get registered. Or you may manually add the service provider in your `config/app.php` file:

```
'providers' => [
    // ...
    \rezgui\LaravelSourceEncrypter\SourceEncryptServiceProvider::class,
];
```

#### For Lumen

[](#for-lumen)

Add this line of code under the `Register Service Providers` section of your `bootstrap/app.php`:

```
$app->register(\rezgui\LaravelSourceEncrypter\SourceEncryptServiceProvider::class);
```

### Step 3 (Optional)

[](#step-3-optional)

You can publish the config file with this following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="rezgui\LaravelSourceEncrypter\SourceEncryptServiceProvider" --tag=config
```

**Note:** If you are using Lumen, you have to use [this package](https://github.com/laravelista/lumen-vendor-publish).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Open terminal in project root and run this command:

```
php artisan encrypt-source
```

This command encrypts files and directories in `config/source-encrypter.php` file. Default values are `app`, `database`, `routes`.

The default destination directory is `encrypted`. You can change it in `config/source-encrypter.php` file.

Also the default encryption key length is `6`. You can change it in `config/source-encrypter.php` file. `6` is the recommended key length.

This command has these optional options:

OptionDescriptionExamplesourcePath(s) to encryptapp,routes,public/a.phpdestinationDestination directoryencryptedkeylengthEncryption key length6forceForce the operation to run when destination directory already exists### Usage Examples

[](#usage-examples)

CommandDescription`php artisan encrypt-source`Encrypts with default source, destination and keylength. If the destination directory exists, asks for delete it.`php artisan encrypt-source --force`Encrypts with default source, destination and keylength. If the destination directory exists, deletes it.`php artisan encrypt-source --source=app`Encrypts `app` directory to the default destination with default keylength.`php artisan encrypt-source --destination=dist`Encrypts with default source and key length to `dist` directory.`php artisan encrypt-source --destination=dist --keylength=8`Encrypts default source to `dist` directory and the encryption key length is `8`.Written with ♥ by Siavash Bamshadnia, and update with ♥ by Yacine REZGUI.
