This dont do anything, its the same, when you enter to the client.php, you can view the source, and it still showing the IP the dcrs and all...

[sisija]

So actually what you are doing is this:

$ip = "someiphere";
blabla.ip=<?php echo $ip; ?>;blabla

Instead of

blabla.ip=someiphere;blabla

Which will both result to
blabla.ip=someiphere;blabla

? I'm sorry, but with echo you are just making it visible in the source...

And oh

<?php $ip; ?>

will result in... NOTHING!

pointless..... no safer whatsoever

Thx for that one. Forgot that :O

Anyways. It does work . It doesn't show the ip for me..? Like if you filli nconfig.php to connec tto a database it won't show the details if it errors, and you can't get it from the source whatsoever. And if you do it from the file itself (like the old laoders) it will result your databaseconfigs.!

/* and */ will hide the code.

try this:

<?php
$ip="Your IP here (I prefer masked ips. no-ip.com. If you don't know how? Google it!)";
$infoport="Your gameport here";
$musport="Your musport here"; // Default: 30001
$ExternalText="The link to your external texts";
$Variables="The link to your variables";
$Dcrs="The link to your dcrs";
?>

Uhm, because you can steal Ipadresses very easy from someones loader. I thought it would be nice to protect against that.

Some more info:
- You can't open a PHP file if you don't actually have it yourself.
- You are able to protect everything now, from your ip to your dcrs!

Well, it's very simple actually:
1) Open Notepad

2) Put this in:

<?php
$ip="Your IP here (I prefer masked ips. no-ip.com. If you don't know how? Google it!)";
$infoport="Your gameport here";
$musport="Your musport here"; // Default: 30001
/*
$ExternalText="The link to your external texts";
$Variables="The link to your variables";
$Dcrs="The link to your dcrs";
*/
?>

3) Safe this as config.php or whatever. It doesn't matter. And put it in the same folder as your loader.
NOTE: If you also want to protect your externals and such. Remove the /* and */ !

4) Now, open up your loader. Put this at the top:

<?php
include("config.php");
?>

5) Go to the part of connection.info.host=
Where you normally put your ip, put this: <?php echo $ip ?>
And where you normally put your port, do this: <?php echo $infoport ?>
And so on
I think it's pretty easy and it speaks for itself. Questions? Post them here!

WTF is this! Your logic is basically "I won't tell guy #1 this secret information, so I'll tell guy #2 to tell guy #1 the secret information." all you're doing is wasting PHP resources. Open the loader and click "View Source" you'll see the same thing.

Also to whoever said you can hide code with /* and */. I double-faceplamed. /* and */ are called COMMENTS. Anything between them are not even rendered. Might as well delete everything between /* and */ because they're not going to be shown to the user.

Strange to see it works for some and some not. Nevermind i'll just fucking delete this.
