    * what encryption is this?

    I know this is not too clear, but maybe it is somehow familiar to you. Could you think of any php encoding that yields this?

    Code:

    It does not look like base64_encode.

    Thanks!

    It is definitely not base 64 encoded. There isn't anything that I can see to indicate how it is encoded though.

    It's encoded, not encrypted. You can tell because it's clearly not random. Additionally, every 1 to 26-ish characters are encapsulated in single byte hex codes wrapped between < and >.

    Hard to say where it comes from using the info supplied. With these things it's really an information gathering task.

    Where'd you get that snippet? What's the purpose in knowing how it's encoded?

    file command in Linux identifies this chunk as UTF-8 Unicode text

    Yeah, filled with encrypted code. It's hard to say what was actually used to encode it.
