PHP source code protection method?

Question

I'm using php mysql for system development.

My problem is when we are giving source code at the end of development is there a way to encode source code (So your code is unreadable)

something like compiling in java???

Check something about "compiling in java" http://stackoverflow.com/a/272595/251311 — zerkms, Feb 10 '14 at 07:45
No. PHP is more a scripting language which is interpreted. No way to protect the source code if someone else should work with it. — Realitätsverlust, Feb 10 '14 at 07:45

if they want to just run the script on their local machine for testing purpose you must see this "obfuscate php" http://www.phpencode.org/ many similar sites available. BUT it is reversible. — Karan Thakkar, Feb 10 '14 at 07:47

There are some commercial solutions available like ioncube's php encoder, zend guard, and phpshield that will all do what you're asking. Hope this helps :)
