Fwd: [PHP-GTK-DEV] Fwd: get (.exe) from phpgtk2 on windows

ack - to the list again


Again - if protecting your source code is an issue for your app, you're
using the wrong tool.   You can use PHP encoders but they slow things down
and usually you have to pay for them (and they can always dump out the
opcodes...)

It might be easier to distribute your app if you use a phar (people are also
less likely to go digging around) - see php.net/phar

as for the icon issue - that's in the manual
see
http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/gtk.gtkwindow.method.set_icon.php
along with set_icon_from_file and other variations

Thanks,
Elizabeth
