uglify-php

library1.0.7jsnpmunverified

UglifyPHP is a JavaScript minifier and simple obfuscator for PHP files. It uses a unique ID based on current time to replace variable names, allowing multiple minified files to coexist without variable overwriting. It correctly handles class methods and $this references, but does not modify function names or inject junk code for performance reasons. The package is NOT a security solution and should not be used for licensing or code protection. Current stable version is 1.0.7. It is a lightweight tool for basic PHP code minification and obfuscation, with options to exclude specific variables, remove whitespace, and remove comments. It runs in Node.js and outputs either a minified file or source code as a promise.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

UglifyPHP

✓ const UglifyPHP = require('uglify-php');

✗ import UglifyPHP from 'uglify-php';

CommonJS only; no ESM support.

UglifyPHP.minify

✓ UglifyPHP.minify(pathOrCode, options).then(source => ...);

✗ UglifyPHP.minify(pathOrCode, options, callback);

Returns a promise, not a callback.

UglifyPHP.minify (error handling)

✓ UglifyPHP.minify(...).catch(err => console.error(err));

✗ try { UglifyPHP.minify(...) } catch(err) {}

Errors are rejected promises, not thrown synchronously.

Shows CommonJS require usage, option configuration, and promise-based minification with error handling.

const UglifyPHP = require('uglify-php'); const options = { excludes: [ '$GLOBALS', '$_SERVER', '$_GET', '$_POST', '$_FILES', '$_REQUEST', '$_SESSION', '$_ENV', '$_COOKIE', '$php_errormsg', '$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA', '$http_response_header', '$argc', '$argv', '$this' ], minify: { replace_variables: true, remove_whitespace: true, remove_comments: true, minify_html: false }, output: '' }; UglifyPHP.minify('<?php echo "Hello"; ?>', options) .then(source => console.log(source)) .catch(err => console.error(err));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaUglifyPHP does NOT protect code or prevent reverse-engineering; it only minifies and obfuscates variable names.

fix

Do not rely on this for licensing or security; use a dedicated code protection tool if needed.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe '.minify' method returns a Promise, not a synchronous result.

fix

Always use .then() or async/await to handle the result.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaVariable replacement uses a unique ID based on current time; two minifications at the same moment may produce identical IDs.

fix

If collision is a concern, add a small delay or custom prefix.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe package is not actively maintained; last update was 4 years ago.

fix

Consider alternatives like 'php-minify' or 'PHP Minify' if you need active support.

affects: 1.0.7

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: UglifyPHP.minify is not a function

Incorrect import (ESM import instead of require).

fix

Use const UglifyPHP = require('uglify-php');

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: File not found

The first argument is a file path that does not exist.

fix

Ensure the path is correct, or pass the source code as a string instead.

ReferenceError: regeneratorRuntime is not defined

Using async/await without proper polyfill in older Node.js versions.

fix

Use .then()/catch() or upgrade Node.js to version 7.6+.
