IonCube Loader is a software instrument, that is required to run files which are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an app employed to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering or unauthorized use. A great number of script-driven applications, especially discussion boards, content management systems and e-commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that when you obtain a script and you notice that ionCube is one of the website hosting environment requirements, you should ensure that your website hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it is not that hard to install it if you have your own server, it is almost impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server since the PHP environment will have to be precompiled and all of the clients on the server shall be affected.
