IonCube
What is IonCube? Why is it present on almost any present-day web server running PHP?
In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, since anyone could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. When you obtain web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument known as ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encrypted files and you'll often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed a lot quicker and this will improve the general speed of your website.
