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.

Which Download Do I Need?

Archives and an installer created with the ionCube Package Foundry are available for each supported server platform. 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. Debian, RedHat etc. are all covered by the x86 and x86_64 Linux Loaders.

Instructions for installing Loaders can be found here.

Join the Loader Updates Mailinglist

If you distribute Loaders with your products or maintain shared servers, it will be a good idea to know when new Loaders are released. You can keep up to date by joining the Loader update mailing list. The list is announcement only so you can only receive messages from us, and updates will usually be infrequent. To join, simply email ioncube-loader-update-request@freelists.org with the subject subscribe, and then reply to the confirmation request sent to your email address.
