A: 

You can also try using the Ioncube Encryption, but you will need to ask your server administrator to install the Ioncube library / package, if it's not already installed.

Hope it helps.

Be warned that ioncube is pretty heavy on your customer's IT folks nerves.

This is definitely a duplicate of PHP- Best Obfuscation Tool/Script? however nobody there mentioned hiphop.

hiphop is a PHP compiler; it's main purpose is to speed up the code. The fact that it becomes unreadable as a compiled executable is a bonus.

No one mentioned hiphop for a reason.
