Nope, I can't.

It's locked. :(

I can see this as having some use in a casual environment. However I would question how easy it would be to deobfuscate the code. Is a a deobfuscate DOPO equivalent available in that sense then? You may want to give visitors an option to either permanently and (as secure as possible using the most complicated patterns) obfuscate code or have the option to obfuscate the code in a way that's compatible with a deobfuscator.

Well, I guess it's certainly not supposed for high-end production environments. You have a couple of good commercial solutions which provides decent protection (with server runtimes), but I think this is a good tool for avoiding lamers.

Be weary of people with no posts posting an "email obfuscating" tool online. It may give you the obfuscation code, but it will also steal you IMPORTANT email addresses. It COULD be a scam.

It's not email obfuscation, it's PHP source code obfuscation.
And it doesn't work.
So one wonders what's the point - harvesting PHP sources for juicy bits of SQL passwords? Hardly useful, if the database host is "localhost"... I'm outta ideas.

Seodevhead, you're right about the scam warn, but it could also be a legitimate tool in the form of SaaS. Actually, let me clarify this, I'm the creator of FOPO, and I'm not stealing anything from nobody. I first created it as something I was needing for my own purposes and then decided to share with other people. I also thought posting it in forums related with PHP was a good idea to share it.

Mordred, I'm interested in knowing how was that it didn't work for you.

Thank you.
