Can encoded and non-encoded PHP files be used together?

0

Yes. Encoded and non-encoded PHP files, in most instances, can be used together transparently. The only exception is files which were encoded using the ”Work Exclusively with Encoded Files” option. These files will only work with encoded files that were encoded by the same company. Obfuscated files however, can have problem running together with non-obfuscated scripts, if functions or classes defined in one script are called from another script. Such scripts should be both obfuscated or both non-obfuscated, or classes or functions that are called across the “obfuscation border” should be exported. To temporarily replace obfuscated script with non-obfuscated one and you still want to call the functions and classes in the script, you can use zend_runtime_obfuscate() function – however this function may impact performance so it is not recommended as a permanent solution.
