Check your "release" directory to see if you have this file. If you do, at least then you will know it was sourceguardian that was used to encrypt it. Not much progress, but it would be something at least. [/quote] Unfortunately, there's nothing but PHP files in the folder that makes up the entire script (and he only sent me that folder... so there's nothing else driving this thing unless he's got a decrypter on one of his own servers, which I doubt, since that would mean my script working would depend on his server being up). The files are half encrypted, half not. (Each non-encrypted file has mostly HTML, and calls up an encrypted version of itself which makes up the "motor" of the page) For example, there's "comments_reply.php" which is made up of mostly HTML and a couple of PHP "if" statements... and then there's an accompanying "s_comments_reply.php" which is encrypted, and has all the hardcore PHP stuff. Maybe that helps? Knowing that all the encrypted files begin with "s_"? Or maybe that's just how this guy did it.
