Will IonCube encoded files work?

Yes, you can enable the IonCube PHP Loader from www.ioncube.com.

All you have to do is add the following line to your /etc/php.ini file:

zend_extension="ioncube_loader_lin_x.x.so"

where "x.x" is the proper IonCube version number that relates to the major and minor PHP version you are running. For example, if the PHP version is 4.4.6, then the "x.x" becomes "4.4".

You'll always find the actual IonCube Loader file name that you need to load in your php.ini in the /usr/local/libexec/php/ directory with the other dynamically loadable PHP libraries.

No webserver restart is needed. You can test the install with your own php script that calls phpinfo() and look for the phrase "..ionCube..." in the output.

The Zend Optimizer can be loaded alongsite the IonCube loader, so long
as the zend_extension line in /etc/php.ini for the IonCube loader
appears BEFORE the line for the Zend Optimizer.

Another way to use the Ioncube Loader is at runtime (instead of loading
it inside of PHP).

For run-time loading to work, a directory called 'ioncube' containing 
the Loaders (it unpacks like this automatically when you download the
loader) should be placed in or above the top directory of encoded files.
For example, if you have encoded files in or below '/htdocs/www', you
might place the 'ioncube' directory in '/htdocs/www/ioncube'.

Do not use the "thread safe" version of the loader with any filename
ending in "_ts.so"

encoded file has expired or is corrupt

If you get this error: The encoded file /htdocs/www/config.php has
expired or is corrupt.  The cure is to upload the file as a binary file.
 It should be in your ftp settings.  I use FileZilla and the setting is
there.

Modwest doesn't have ioncube loader files for php5 by default. Follow
the instructions on step 7 of this page:

www.howtoforge.com/linux_apache2_ssl_php5_zendoptimizer_ioncubeloader

EXCEPT put your ioncube folder under your root because the one they use
on the  example is unwritable on Modwest.
