IonCube is a PHP loader designed to prevent unauthorized use of your PHP scripts.
IonCube is already installed on the server your hosting account is on.
To get your own scripts to use IonCube there are two things that must be done.
First, you need to get a template php.ini with IonCube already configured in it. This can be accomplished by doing the following:
- Login to your control panel
- Choose "PHP Config"
- Check the box labeled "IonCube" under "Install Default php.ini"
- Click "INSTALL PHP.INI FILE".
That will place php.ini file with the name of php.ini.default in your public_html folder.
Second, you need to rename the file from "php.ini.default" to be "php.ini" and place into whichever folder you need IonCube installed. You can do that using the file manager, ftp or ssh.
