protecting script

I'm looking to make commercial php scripts and would like to protect the coding so that its source code is either impossible or hard to steal.
I'm also looking for a way to make a small note at the bottom of the page that is using my script so that other surfers will know about the script and will be sent to the homepage of the script. Those that use the script would ideally not be able to get rid of this small message.
Any ideas on how to do this?

It costs a lot. PHP isn't designed to be a license-based programming language.

Well, you could code it, then compile it with Roadsend PHP Compiler, I think the compiles it make, can be run on a webserver.

From the website:
Revan wrote:The compiler produces native machine code, not PHP byte code
ie, it would then be a CGI, not a php script, and not likely to run on webservers.

I was pretty sure I saw a method to still be able to be used as webserver software in it, must be wrong.

What languages would be suitable for making commercial applications? How about perl?

Every language your customer accepts, and which allows you to realise his expectations, is just fine. I just don't think there is a market for closed-source webapplications.
