    Is there any method by which I can hide the code of my php script from the client and prevent it from being distributed??
    Something like a .war file in jsp ??

    None of them are 100% guaranteed to protect your code. There's all sorts of hacks that are used to get the source reverse engineered

    The main idea of such kind of protection is to make it cheaper to buy than to get the code.

    Yeah but most can be decrypted for a couple of bucks, if not cheaper...The tools to do it aren't hard to find either

    you can encode your encodes in zend or ioncube but again this can be reversed by experts

    try using a tool which uses variable,function and constant replacement as it won't depend on needing ioncube or zend optimiser installed to run the code.

    Go with ioncube. It's not easily reversible anymore.

    If you want a cheap and easy solution you can go with the built-in bencoder. (search php.net for bencoder).
