Hiding or obfusticating php

Does anyone know a way of Hiding or obfusticating php so a php/mySQL system could be distributed to users for installing without them being able to access the php code

It's not possible to hide the source, but I do believe there are products out there that make it very hard to read.

Do you know the names of the products?
