Soul_Rebel: That code is what we call "obfuscated". It may have
some encryption involved but chances are all the info needed to
get the clean code back is in that file. The variable names are
complex and hard to read and the code has been "encoded" into
a representation of the characters in the original. However
usually with this process it's just to make it hard and doesn't
really totally hide the original code.

You'd need to find the function that turns that string of encoded
data back into the actual code and uses the eval function to run
it. If the eval is turned into a print chances are you'll have the full
code back.

I'd suggest contacting the coder if this is a commercial script
which is still being supported.
