PHP Obfuscator

Simple and effective Obfuscator PHP class (this is not a stupid base64 encoding script, but a real and effective obfuscation script)

Overview

If you want to keep your open source code private, but working on all Web hosting. This Obfuscator class is the obfuscator you need!

Not easy readable by developers (unless they are ready to spend lot of time). This will really discourage them 😃

Usage

Example 1

<?php
require 'src/Obfuscator.php';

$sData = <<<'DATA'
    echo 'This is my PHP code, can be class class, interface, trait,... in PHP 5, 7, 7.2, ..., etc.';
DATA;

$sObfusationData = new Obfuscator($sData, 'Class/Code NAME');
file_put_contents('my_obfuscated_data.php', '<?php ' . "\r\n" . $sObfusationData);

Example 2

<?php
require 'src/Obfuscator.php';

$sData = <<<'DATA'
    $hour = date('H');

    echo 'The hour (of the server) is ' . date('H:m');
    echo ', and will give the following message:<br><br>';

    if ($hour < 10) {
        echo 'Have a good morning!';
    } elseif ($hour < 20) {
        echo 'Have a good day!';
    } else {
        echo 'Have a good night! zZz z';
    }
DATA;

$sObfusationData = new Obfuscator($sData, 'Give a name to the piece of code you want to obfuscate');
file_put_contents('obfuscated_code.php', '<?php ' . "\r\n" . $sObfusationData);

Run obfuscated_code.php file and you will see something like below:

The hour (of the server) is 19, and will give the following message: Have a good day!

Example 3

<?php
require 'src/Obfuscator.php';

$filename = 'myphpfile'; // A PHP filename (without .php) that you want to obfuscate

$sData = file_get_contents($filename . '.php');
$sData = str_replace(array('<?php', '<?', '?>'), '', $sData); // Strip PHP open/close tags
$sObfusationData = new Obfuscator($sData, 'Class/Code NAME');
file_put_contents($filename . '_obfuscated.php', '<?php ' . "\r\n" . $sObfusationData);

Requirement

PHP 5.2 or higher (works with PHP 7.*+ as well!)

History

I first created it for my needs, especially for the license file of my pH7CMS Software in early 2014 but now (summer 2016), I don't need to keep this project private and want to share it for the others (hoping it will help you and saving time!).

I did change anything since the first version and didn't review it, so could be improved. Feel free to add your improvements by forking it and create a new PR. It will be a pleasure for me to see your contribution!

FYI, in 3 years, I never found my obfuscated code unobfuscated (and one project which is pH7CMS had been downloaded by over 50,000 users) so you can be quite confident (however as you can understand, I cannot give any guarantee on it).

Who I am?

I'm Pierre-Henry Soria, Software Developer, love learning new things every single day and also passionate about e-businesses and e-marketing.
