IonCube
What's IonCube? How exactly does IonCube work and when do you really need it for your PHP software?
In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encode their code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without paying the necessary license fees. In case you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the web hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you'll often see it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be set up. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed a lot quicker and this can improve the general speed of your site.
