Hi,

we supply an ERP-System for publishing companies in Germany. Also there is a web shop available for our customers. We want to encode this web shop with nu-coder but it seems that there is no way to install or use phpexpress on certain hosts.

Is there another way to load the dll except the dl() function or editing the php.ini?

Because of the restrictions given by nearly every host it seems that only customers with a root server can use phpexpress and therefore it would be senseless to use nu-coder to encode the web shop...

Yep, dl() is supported (see header option for nucoder), but since php version 5.2.4, dl funciton does not load any extensions from directories other than specified in extension_dir. So, it may become useless too.
