try this, I believe that it will solve the problem with __FILE__

<?php

   
eval("\$Foo = dirname(__FILE__);");
    echo
"\n<br>FILE = '$Foo'\n";

?>

A few notes to succesfully configure PHP5 to load bcompiler.

In case of using Debian/Ubuntu Linux: When installing from the PECL (PEAR) package, make sure you have the php5-dev library installed in your system (apt-get install php5-dev).

Newer versions of Ubuntu may error out while installing bcompiler thru PECL, asking you to reinstall bzip2. This will not fix the installation. Instead, install the libbz2-dev library (apt-get install libbz2-dev) and try installing bcompiler from PECL again.

After installing bcompiler from PECL, don't forget to make sure you load the bcompiler.so library in your PHP configuration for the new bcompiler functions to become available. This is done by adding the following line to the bottom of your php.ini file(s):

extension=bcompiler.so

If you were to use the bcompiler functions thru your webserver, you need to restart it to reload the php configuration.

Regarding alan at akbkhome dot com's note:
Not only __FILE__ will be handled differently; same for errors thrown by PHP:

If the file was compiled from a another file (bcompiler_write_file()), then PHP will blame the original filename - looks very strange when you put a file which was compiled under Windows on an UNIX system.

If the file was compiled by bcompiler_write_[class|constant|function](), error messages will contain the filename of the file which has called these functions.

hello guys, since bencoder don't work for __FILE__ constants i have a bcompiler script working, anyone that want it can send me an email
the source is 100% compatible with original file, the only problem is php5 new function methods that
<?
if (!function_exists('function_name')){
 function
function_name()
}
?>
don't work but it's a php5 new method for understand bytecode

Here's a script to act as a front-end for bcompiler, which may be very similar to the eA ones:

http://bbs.giga.net.tw/bencoder.php

BENCODER v1.1 - Encode your PHP script using bcompiler

Usage: bencoder [-f] -o FILE    file1.php
       bencoder [-f] -o OUTDIR  file1.php file2.php ...
       bencoder [-f] -o OUTDIR  -a SRCDIR  [-s SUFFIX] [-c] [-r]

  -f        : force overwriting even if the target exists
  -o FILE   : the file name to write the encoded script
              (default to '-encoded.php' suffix)
  -o OUTDIR : the directory to write all encoded files

  -a SRCDIR : encode all files in this source directory
  -s SUFFIX : encode the files with the SUFFIX extension only (default: php)
  -c        : copy files those shouldn't be encoded (no by default)

I would think that this is the preferred behavior anyways since the compilation should be independent from the source code.  I would want to be able to compile any part of my source code without having to worry if any constants will change as a result of it.  Hence it is better for __FILE__ to contain the name of the original file that was compiled.

PHP seems to choke on trying to compile PHP5 classes with the private, protected or public modifiers. Additionally, when including files with properly compiled classes on PHP5, it works fine but when php tries to exit it throws a segmentation fault.

It's just not a great idea to use bcompiler for anything other than functions on PHP5, at least for now.

Creating a function after checking if a function exists using function_exists will result in a "Zero Sized Reply" error.

this does NOT work any longer:
if (!function_exists("file_get_contents")) {
        function file_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0)
        { ...define your own function here... }
}

Apache returns: "Zero Sized Reply" after compilation.

Note:
the special constant __FILE__ cannot be handled correctly by bcompiler (it will always contain the name of the original file that was compiled). There is no known way around this, as it is converted to a string by the Zend engine.
