eAccelerator encoded files

[asantos]

Hi.
Is it possible to work with this kind of scheme?

(A) File encoded with eAccelerator
(B) Unencoded file

With that preliminary info, I have two questions:
1. File (B) gets included inside (A). Will it work?
2. File (A) gets included inside (B). Will it work?

Thanks,
Andres

anyone?

My initial guess would be no, neither situation would work. The best way to find out, considering I haven't used eAccelerator before, is to test it out with a quick example.

a.php (encoded of course)

include("b.php");
echo $test;

b.php

$test = "Fishsticks";

Thanks for the reply.
BTW, Is there a better way to encode php source? (no-cost alternatives only)

Thanks again.
