Which is the best way to hide the PHP source code?

Which is the best way to convert the PHP code to not human 开发者_StackOverflow中文版readble format?

Take a look at Zend Guard.

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

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.

You can see bcompiler with a stable release: http://pecl.php.net/package/bcompiler
