### Decode datastore content

To display the array representing the data saved in `data/datastore.php`, use the following snippet:

```php
$data = "tZNdb9MwFIb... <Commented content inside datastore.php>";
$out = unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode($data)));
echo "<pre>"; // Pretty printing is love, pretty printing is life
print_r($out);
echo "</pre>";
exit;
```
This will output the internal representation of the datastore, "unobfuscated" (if this can really be considered obfuscation).

Alternatively, you can transform to JSON format (and pretty-print if you have `jq` installed):
```
php -r 'print(json_encode(unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode(preg_replace("!.*/\* (.+) \*/.*!", "$1", file_get_contents("data/datastore.php")))))));' | jq .
```
