title: Is there any other alternative to PHP which allows me to deploy unreadable code on a server?
body: <p>I am developing a CMS which has a PHP Encryption engine. But as the PHP code is completely visible, the method of encryption of data is easily compromised as every person who purchases the product can read the code. I want to pre compile the PHP or use any other server side scripting language that allows me to give a file containing the byte code of the program and which carries out the exact same function as the original PHP file. Is there any such language?</p>
