YAK Pro - Php Obfuscator is a free, open-source CLI tool that obfuscates pure PHP source code using the PHP-Parser library. It removes comments and indentation, scrambles names, converts control structures to if/goto statements, obfuscates string literals, and shuffles statements to make code hard for humans to understand.

Use cases

• obfuscate php source code before distributing a project
• protect php application logic from being understood or modified
• scramble variable, function, and class names in php files
• recursively obfuscate an entire php project directory
• remove comments and indentation from php code
• make php scripts difficult to reverse engineer

When to choose

• you distribute php code and want to hinder reverse engineering
• you need a free, configurable, MIT-licensed php obfuscator
• you want incremental, timestamp-based re-obfuscation of changed files
• your codebase is pure php without embedded html

When to avoid

• your php files contain html with embedded php
• you need real security rather than deterrence (obfuscation is not encryption)
• you need to obfuscate other languages than php
• you require commercial support or guaranteed compatibility with very old php versions on the 3.x branch
