• Zend Guard Loader functions
API Reference
o zend_loader_enabled - Checks the Zend Optimizer+ configuration to verify that it is
configured to load encoded files
o zend_loader_file_encoded - Returns TRUE if the current file was encoded with Zend
Guard or FALSE otherwise. If FALSE, consider disabling the Guard Loader
o zend_loader_file_licensed - Compares the signature of the running file against the
signatures of the license files that are loaded into the License Registry by the php.ini file.
If a valid license file exists, the values of the license file are read into an array. If a valid
license does not exist or is not specified in the php.ini, it is not entered in the PHP
server's license registry. If a valid license that matches the product and signature cannot
be found in the license directory, an array is not created. For information on the proper
installation of a license file, as well as the php.ini directive, see the Zend Guard User
Guide
o zend_loader_current_file - Obtains the full path to the file that is currently running. In
other words, the path of the file calling this API function is evaluated only at run time and
not during encoding
o zend_loader_install_license - Dynamically loads a license for applications encoded with
Zend Guard.
o zend_obfuscate_function_name - Obfuscate and return the given function name with the
internal obfuscation function
o zend_current_obfuscation_level - Returns the current obfuscation level support (set by
zend_optimizer.obfuscation_level_support) to get information on the product that is
currently running.
o zend_runtime_obfuscate - Start runtime-obfuscation support to allow limited mixing of
obfuscated and un-obfuscated code
o zend_obfuscate_class_name - Obfuscate and return the given class name with the
internal obfuscation function
o zend_get_id - Returns an array of Zend (host) IDs in your system. If all_ids is TRUE, then
all IDs are returned, otherwise only IDs considered "primary" are returned
o zend_loader_version - Returns Zend Guard Loader version
