If your server does not have ionCube support already enabled, you can obtain Loaders for your server platform by clicking a download link below. On many web servers the Loader can be enabled automatically with no changes to the php.ini file or server restart required. Alternatively a single line can be added to the php.ini file.

 The 4.2 Loader series packages include support for running encoded files on PHP 5.4

Which Download Do I Need?

Archives and an installer created with the ionCube Package Foundry are available for each supported server platform. Note that the installer runs on Windows and installs the Loaders automatically via FTP. It may be the best choice if your local machine is Windows and you simply want to transfer the Loader files to your web area. If you are unsure of the server platform (e.g. Linux or FreeBSD) and architecture (e.g. x86 or x86-64), your hosting company will be able to tell you.

If you need Loaders for platforms not mentioned please contact us. Note that different distributions of Linux, e.g. CentOS, SuSE, Debian, RedHat etc. are all covered by the x86 and x86-64 Linux Loaders.

Loader Wizard

A Loader Wizard PHP script to help with installation is available in a Zip and tgz archive. Download and install the script into your web space, and then launch the script in your browser for guidance on installation and selection of the correct Loader package. The Wizard is also provided within the Loader packages below.

Notes: x86/ppc/sparc packages are for 32 bit systems; x86-64/ppc64 packages are for 64 bit systems. The Windows non-TS Loaders are for use on a Windows system where a phpinfo page shows that PHP is built with thread safety disabled.
