2. Unpack the files and copy to default PHP module folder location like so
# tar ioncube-encoder.tar.gz
# cd ioncube
Copy the latest .so file into your PHP module folder like so
# cp ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so /usr/lib/php/modules/
The module name, module version and PHP module folder could be different from your platform.
3. There are two ways to install Ioncube PHP Encoder, one is via PHP. Edit your /etc/php.ini
After the line [PHP], insert the next line
zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
Save and exit.
4. Now, if you are serving your web pages from /var/www/html/test1 , simply copy
# cp ioncube-encoded-file.php /var/www/html/test1
# cp ioncube-loader-helper.php /var/www/html/test1
5. Restart Apache and browse the above two Ioncube PHP Encoder PHP test files

If you installation is successful, you should be seeing similar lines like

An ionCube encoded file has been loaded successfully.
Encoded files should now function correctly.

If Ioncube encoder tells you that your code has expired, simply re-register and download a new copy of the Ioncube PHP encoder file for evaluation purposes.
If problem persist, consult Ioncube but basically, browsing ioncube-loader-helper.php should be helpful enough.

Nice info, but I’m wondering, is there a way to reverse engineer ion cube yet? I guess that if the server has to parse and decode it in order to “understand it”, there should be a way to intercept the code being decoded by, may be, using a local server… Just wondering…
