PHP Obfuscator
This tool allows you to obfuscate your PHP code. Unlike some other solutions, this PHP Obfuscator does not require special server side libraries or server components to work properly. While it is far from foolproof, it does make the source code difficult to read and understand for non-programmers and casual programmers.

To translate back to normal PHP, do:
echo gzinflate(base64_decode($xxxxxx));
where $xxxxxx is the name of the first variable. Also, you should probably get rid of the last eval() before doing this.

Well, I said that it does make the source code difficult to read and understand for non-programmers and casual programmers. Actually, an easier solution would be to replace the last eval by echo. But don’t tell anyone, that’s a secret
