File encryption

[bhilimon]

I'm looking to encrypt all of my php files some how and have it readable by apache. I've seen this done for some scripts and don't want their code released. I want to be able to upload a script to a shared hosting account, and make sure no one can read the files except apache. I have access to the apache conf files too so anything that helps would be great.

If anyone has knows how to do this let me know. I know it can be done.

On a shared host it might be a problem, unless they are willing to install the proper module to decrypt the data. I am just gessing, there might be a way to decrypt without installing anything, I dunno. I have never played with encrypting code, but here is a link to a package that has been mentioned as the 'best' one in a few places:
