its not possible in php ... also why you want to do that ? – NullPonyPointer Apr 1 at 7:46
Do you want to hide the PHP code, or the HTML code? – DCoder Apr 1 at 7:47

@deepak: Make a contract and tell your customer which rights they have with the software and how much money they owe you if they break the contract. Works better. – hakre Apr 1 at 7:51

@roXon: it depends on the use case. The hosting company (and depending on the hosting setup, other users of the same hosting server) can see the PHP code. Site visitors can see the HTML code. – DCoder Apr 1 at 7:52

Hi you can use the Zend guard to encode your code so it can't be reverse engineered...

if you are going to host your website on shared hosting or any thirdparty hosting, you may use zend encoder or ioncube php encoder, they will protect your source code.

PHP HTML and JavaScript are open source language so you can do nothing to encode them which can't be decode. but the best way is Zend Guard - Encode Your PHP Applications for php which can be decoded by sites like these: Websites for zend decoder online.

But the good news is if you always use the last version of Zend Guard it can't be reversed, because still there is no decoder came for it.

Another way is, you buy a VPS (Virtual private server) or Dedicated Server and deploy your source code in there and you just sell your web application usage to your customers (not the source code). So just, you have the user and password of host and no one can see your application code.
