What is there strange random variable hi

[nash]

HI hope everything is going well for everyone

i am new to PHP and i am suppose to understand an existing application , the problem is all php pages have these i think it kind of random variable ($sp1e3fd4;$sp1e3gd6…etc) , i don’t understand what are there how these variables are generated , is there any kind of PHP edition maybe drag and drop which may be generate these variables
sample

sp80133f = getsrvc($sp1e3fd4); foreach ($sp80133f as $spf28b9c) { $spd93ffd = $spf28b9c[‘service_id’]; $sp1e3fd4->where(‘service_id’, $spd93ffd)…etc

Someone obfuscated the code for a lame attempt at “Security”. More an annoyance than anything. Only thing you can really do is a search and replace with meaningful variable names.

these variables are available on all the pages and it is like hundreds , it almost impossible to replace all of them .

thank for your reply ,appreciate it

It really isn’t impossible. Its called find and replace all, you can do it at the document level, or the project level, if you are using a real IDE.
