PHP code protector

Question

We are about to deploy our PHP web application in different branches of our company and I am looking for PHP code encoders as to protect our PHP scripts from tampering. I know that Zend Guard is probably the most ideal tool there is, but the-power-that-be wants me to look for other alternatives.

Have you guys got any suggestions or other alternatives? I have looked around and they all promised almost the same things it gets me confused =/.

Thank's in advance for the help :D

The two most commonly used ones I have seen are Zend as you mentioned and ionCube. These seem to be the ones most supported by hosting providers etc.

I've always worked with the Zend solutions, and never been disapointed.

AND a major Point, if your corporate is not to greedy, you can buy a support and a complete Development suit and Production Environnement.
