A single PHP file, protected with ionCube Encoder 14.0, needs to be converted back to clear, human-readable source code. I hold full legal rights to the script and the explicit authorization to alter it, yet I possess only the encrypted file—no original sources or documentation. Scope • Remove all ionCube encryption and obfuscation layers without breaking the script’s logic. • Deliver a fully functional, neatly formatted PHP file that can be edited and version-controlled like any normal source file. • Preserve every function, class, comment, and variable name where possible so future maintenance is straightforward. Acceptance criteria 1. Running the decrypted file under PHP (without ionCube Loader enabled) yields identical behavior to the original encoded version. 2. No residual ionCube headers, loaders, or stub code remain. 3. Code passes a quick diff review with me and executes successfully in my staging environment. Please include a brief note on the approach or tools you plan to use so I understand your methodology before we begin.
