Hello,

I have downloaded a PHP code and all the code is encrypted. I have to configure that and its not working properly so I have to see what is wrong in a particular file. So how can I decrypt the code and convert it into its normal human readable form.

TIA!

Most times the php code is encrypted for a reason. Like not getting thier code stolen. Normally, configuration part is not encrypted.

How to decrypt depends on how it was encrypted. Sometimes you can do it manually (simple), sometimes you have to intercept the op-codes (not simple.)

The majority, if not all, of the byte-code encryptions (caches really) out there have counterparts that can and will reverse the encoding. I would suggest that before you try to break the encoding that you contact the maker of it and talk to them about the problems you are encountering. In a large number of cases you likely aren't the first to have such an issue.
