What is PHP Obfuscation?

• • When you distribute PHP projects, you distribute the source code which can be read and modified.
• • Obfuscation makes your code difficult for humans to understand, modify, or steal logic from.
• • The code remains perfectly executable by the PHP interpreter but looks like gibberish to people.
• • Note: Obfuscation is not encryption and can be reversed with effort. It provides obscurity, not security.
