Ioncube

[SiKing]

Hey, I really need an installation of Ioncube. I am with DreamHost at the moment and I know nothing about Shell or servers in general.

Is there a way around it?
Can it be installed with DreamHost?
Can I decode my PHP files some other way?

Thanks.


This was on the installation document:

Ioncube Installation
=================================

Requirements
-----------
If not installed via the php.ini the dynamic librarys can
execute at run time but require the use of the dl() function.


Install
=======
1) Upload the folder labeled ioncube.

...but me no understandy

Usually ioncube is standalone, and does not need additional server extensions per se. That's the difference between it and Zend, with Zend requiring a full root install of zend optimizer to work.

So ioncube should work fine if you just follow the instructions. I suggest you contact your host if you're stuck in the process

Ah, figured it out now. Thanks PolurNET

It is better if it is installed at the system level though, as it loads faster then the shared version.

Yes, the ioncube loader is much slower than a root installation.
