How can I change my PHP code to some symbols. I want my customer not able modify my code. I see some php script like this.

you will have to user an encoder such as ioncube

any free??

as i know there are no free encoders/compilers for php but u can find or write simple script that will make your code harder to understand
(just cut your comments, unimportant spaces and new lines, change variables names to some weird strings etc etc... )
for average programmer it will be impossible to understand
for some it will be just few hours of work to convert your code to some
nice-looking version
anywan - just google...

What you want is also commonly called an 'obfuscater'. I haven't used any with PHP, and google turns up one main link that looks promissing, but the site itself is poorly put together. I hcan't used it myself.
