It looks like they just wrote it out replacing each character (letter)
with its octal value. You can go somewhere like http://asciitable.com/
to translate this stuff manually. If you want to parse it with PHP, you
can use something like chr():
http://php.net/chr
I guess it's a similar idea to rot13 - it makes casual observation
impossible, so someone has to actually want to read the code. Maybe they
use vulgarities as variable names. :-)
