gencoder is a simple php encoder that use base64 algorithm to 
encode and decode the script. the drawback of this script:
- it doesn't have a key for encryption / decryption method.
- run slower then normal php script (because it need 
  to re-read the script and decode it).
- only work on single complete php tag (one open php tag and
  one close php tag) because of limitation of eval function.
unlike zend encoder, this script won't solve your problem
from hiding the source code from advance programmer but
at least you're one step closer to making your code tougher
for people to steal.
