Bought a PHP script that I thought was going to save me time. Ugh. Even with correct configuration, no luck even connecting to db. But the worst part is that I have the code but it's base64 encoded. Anyone have suggestions for cracking or reverse engineering? I see in the source eval(base64_decode(...)) procedures that begin the script. The reaminder of that source is in that script but it's encoded out of PHP tags so I don't know what's going on. Is it even possible to decode?

I wouldn't be in such pursuit to crack it if the developer had any integrity to respond to these issues but at this point, cracking seems to be my only hope. Where does one go? Any suggestions?
