IonCube
What is IonCube? Precisely how does IonCube work and do you need it for your PHP apps?
IonCube Loader is a software tool, that is needed to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an application designed to make PHP code human unreadable, so as to protect it from reverse engineering or illegal use. A lot of script-driven apps, in particular community forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore when you get a script and you notice that ionCube is on the list of hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your website hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Though it is not that difficult to install it when you have your own server, it is almost impossible to do that on a shared hosting server because the PHP environment should be precompiled and all clients on the server will be affected.
