Obfuscating php codes

Sometimes we may want to obfuscate our php scripts so that it 's no longer human-readable. We can use trasher class freely downloaded from phpclasses.org or you can download here (3kb including example files).

Below is the example of how to use it (before and after obfuscated):

test.php (script which will be confuscated)

<?php

$x = 5;

$y = 10;

$z = $x * $y;

echo ("X * Y = $z");

 ?>

sample.php (script which will confuscate test.php)

<?php 

// include the phptrasher class

require_once('phptrasher.class.php');

// create a new object 

$phptrasher = new phptrasher();

// initialize the class

$phptrasher->initialize();

// setup the class

$phptrasher->removecomments = true;

$phptrasher->removelinebreaks = true;

$phptrasher->obfuscateclass = true;

$phptrasher->obfuscatefunction = true;

$phptrasher->obfuscatevariable = true;

// get the obfuscated code

$obfuscated = $phptrasher->trash('test.php');

// print the formatted code in a beautiful way

highlight_string($obfuscated);

?>

run sample.php to get obfuscated codes of test.php

test1.php (after confuscated)

<?php $_ccc819a68916c3ef4fd822abb9366846 = 5; $_9870ddd74d75773009cf509800565c6f = 10; $_b7739f51732251c6470ac18757649a94 = $_ccc819a68916c3ef4fd822abb9366846 * $_9870ddd74d75773009cf509800565c6f; echo ("X * Y = $_b7739f51732251c6470ac18757649a94"); ?>
