Your source code needs to be processable by the PHP compiler.
But, you don't want your code-users to "see" it.
This is an unsolvable problem when stated this way.

What you can do is to obfuscate the source code you want them
to use. This enables them (and the compiler) to see the public interface,
and to "see" the class bodies, but if the class bodies
are sufficiently obfuscated, it won't do them much good
to see it.
