I'm not sure if I understand your question.

You want to somehow make the actual PHP module unreadable?

If that's the question, one could use AES Crypt to encrypt the file, but there is no way to then execute it. It would be similar to placing the file inside a ZIP file and applying compression. The web server will not look inside a container to find an executable program, and it would have absolutely no way to decrypt it, even if it did.

I apologize if that didn't answer your question, so feel free to follow-up.

I think it did cover it,

I was hoping a could password protect the php coding as in use AES Crypt to
do its stuff.

as I have seen now because I used it

AES Crypt has its own file entension and in turn a .php would turn to .php.aes

reason for it was I have a plugin which should be licensed and its being nulled and passed around
freely and I wanted to stop it in its tracks by encrypting part of the code and having a password
to unlock it.
