Encrypt what code? Have you seen the Mcrypt library?

I think he's/she's talking about obfuscating the code.

In which case you may want to try any of these.
There are also payed tools available, like Zend Guard.

Why you would want to do that, I have no idea. If you want peace-of-mind that no one (without some reverse-engineering) has access to your amazing codez, go with a compiled language.
