What to Encode in Laravel
In a standard Laravel project, encoding every single file is unnecessary and can complicate environment configuration. The industry best practice is to selectively encode proprietary business logic while leaving framework scaffolding readable:
✓ Encode These Folders (Proprietary IP)
app/Http/Controllers/— Request handling and business logicapp/Models/— Domain models, relationships, and scopesapp/Services/— Core proprietary algorithms & calculationsapp/Actions/— Domain actions and business workflow routinesapp/Http/Middleware/— Custom authentication & entitlement logic
📄 Keep Readable (Configuration & Bootstrap)
config/— Allows clients to configure database & servicesroutes/— Keeping web/api routes readable simplifies debuggingdatabase/migrations/— Allows database schema migrations to executeresources/views/— Blade templates and UI assetsvendor/— Public third-party Composer packages
Step-by-Step Laravel Encoding Workflow
1. Encode your `app/` directory locally:
php encrypt.php app/ protected_app/
2. Swap protected files into your deployment artifact:
rm -rf app && mv protected_app app
3. Deploy to Linux server with PHPcube Loader:
Ensure phpcube.so is enabled in php.ini on your target web and worker servers:
extension=phpcube.so
