+2 A:

Someone I know is asking me to make it hard for bots/novice users to steal source code

Best course of action: beat this person over the head with a large vegetable until they go away.

Your real ‘source code’ is the PHP, and no-one can steal that. As for the HTML, there is absolutely no way you can ever stop anyone “stealing” it. All efforts to try to do so will only make your life hard and your site worse. For example the approach with encoding the whole page in a JavaScript string, which seems to be something like what you're hacking at here, will mess up your site's accessibility and usability, and destroy any hope that search engines might give you a good ranking.

If you did encode HTML in such a broken way, you would have to do it after the PHP code had executed. This is not something you can can do on the PHP source code itself.
