you can only attempt to make your code confusing because it's not really 'code' -- 
php is merely a script.  i suggest that if your need for security is real, recode as cgi 
(with a compilable language, of course... another pure scripting language would put 
you in the same predicament) and use one of the many elf encryption packages [i 
think teso makes one?] instead of trying to make your script confusing.  i understand 
that's not really what you wanted, but scripts are no good for stuff like that.

good luck man with the conversion.

** ps **
sorry to anybody who got this mesasge multiple times... the reply-to thing threw me 
off.
