Encypting PHP Code?

Hey there,
Do you happen to know, if possible, how I can encrypt this PHP code so that it cannot be modified by the client? I think I've seen it before.
Thanks
Ben

I'm sure if you googled you'd find it pretty quickly.
I belive there is a ZEND product that encrypts the code.. can't quite remember the name.

thjeres lots of them. i would go look at the zend one, i heard its pretty hard to crack. i forget the name of the one i played w/, but i downloaded a prwritten script for something once and it was encrypted. i waned to see the source so i went to the website of the company that encrupted it to see what it was about. they wanted like $60 to do thier encryption on a script, so it def wasnt a cheap one....
i cracked it in about 2 hours

it was pretty lame, because im no means a hacker.
it was just a bunch of str_replace, for loops, eval, and includes.

Thanks guys,
yes, checked out the zend one but it's a bit more then what I'd like to spend.
A couple I found from searching in some forums were:
http://www.ioncube.com/
http://www.sourceguardian.com/
Anyone used these or can anyone recommend some other software below the $300 mark?
Cheers!

Just curious to why you would need one... I mean, the only way you can get a script is through FTP, right?

He gives away his code to his clients, what in this case is client=customers

That's correct, plus I am adding an unlocking key to the script so it can't be used on other servers other then the ones I allow.
Thanks
