PHP Obfuscator is a command-line tool build with Python to obfuscate PHP source code files using YAK Pro and PHP-Parser php libraries.
The tool aims to protect the intellectual property of your PHP project by making it more difficult for others to understand or reverse-engineer your code.
The tool can be used to obfuscate single files, multiple files, or an entire project directory.

 - PHP-Parser (PHP library)
 - YAK Pro - Php Obfuscator (PHP library)
 
- Clone the repository
 
git clone https://github.com/your-github-repo/php-obfuscator.git - Change to the project directory
 
cd php-obfuscator - Install YAK Pro - Php Obfuscator
 
You need to install this in to the project directory php-obfuscator
git clone https://github.com/pk-fr/yakpro-po.git After that, you need to configure the package from yakpro-po.cnf in to the php-obfuscator > yakpro-po folder.
Recommended settings for the YAK Pro configuration:
// Allowed modes are: 'PREFER_PHP7', 'PREFER_PHP5', 'ONLY_PHP7', 'ONLY_PHP5' $conf->parser_mode = 'PREFER_PHP7'; $conf->obfuscate_constant_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_variable_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_function_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_class_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_interface_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_trait_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_class_constant_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_property_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_method_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_namespace_name = false; $conf->obfuscate_label_name = false; // User comment to insert inside each obfuscated file $conf->user_comment = false; - Install PHP-Parser
 
You need to install this in to the yakpro-po directory in to the project directory php-obfuscator > yakpro-po
git clone https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser.git - Install the required Python packages
 
From the project directory, you need to run this command:
pip install -r requirements.txt - Ensure you are in the project directory.
 - Run the script
 
python main.py or
bash start.sh Note: Don't forget to change the path to the script in to the start.sh bash file.
-  
Follow the prompts to configure the obfuscation settings, including:
- Mode (single file, multiple files, or entire project directory)
 - Output directory path
 - File or directory paths to exclude
 - Whether to create backups of original PHP files
 
 -  
After the obfuscation process is completed, you can find the obfuscated files in the specified output directory.
 
- os, sys, shutil, and re - standard Python libraries for working with the file system and regular expressions
 - logging - standard Python library for logging
 - concurrent.futures - standard Python library for parallel processing
 - tqdm - external library for progress bars
 
- YAK Pro - a PHP library for obfuscating PHP code
 - PHP-Parser - a PHP library to parse and traverse PHP code
 
If you encounter issues after obfuscating your PHP project, you may need to revert your files to the original (non-obfuscated) versions and reevaluate your obfuscation strategy. Always keep backups of your original code before applying obfuscation, as it can be difficult or impossible to reverse the process and recover the original code.
- Custom obfuscation options: Allow users to choose from different obfuscation options (e.g., obfuscating variable names, function names, or class names) or combine multiple options.
 - File filters: Add filters to include or exclude specific files based on their names or extensions.
 - Preserve original file structure: When obfuscating an entire project directory, recreate the original directory structure in the output folder, maintaining the same hierarchy.
 - Command-line arguments: Implement command-line argument parsing to allow users to run the script with different configurations without manually editing the code.
 
I have created an advanced PHP obfuscator script to help you protect your valuable code from unauthorized access and plagiarism. This obfuscator is designed to be easy to use, efficient, and highly configurable, offering various obfuscation options and features to suit your needs.
As the sole developer of this project, I am committed to continuously improving and expanding it with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. However, maintaining and developing this project takes a significant amount of time and resources.
That's why I kindly ask you to consider supporting my efforts by donating to the project. Your generous contributions will enable me to dedicate more time and resources to making this PHP obfuscator even better and more versatile. Your support will also help me keep the project free and accessible to all PHP developers around the world.
