With the ionCube Encoder, you can...

• Protect PHP scripts with compiled bytecode for best performance and protection.
• Use optional encryption keys that are not stored but generated only when needed (Dynamic Keys). Our unique feature gives greatly increased protection over alternatives that store a decryption key in the protected file or that do not offer encryption at all.
• Produce encoded PHP files to run on PHP 7.4 and earlier.
• Use PHP language features up to PHP 7.2.
• Encrypt non-PHP files such as XML and templates.
• Generate license files to restrict access to encoded files (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Enable one way transformation (obfuscation) of variables and function, method and class names.
• Encode PHP shell scripts.
• Prevent file tampering through use of digital signatures.
• Prevent replacement of encoded files by others.
• Generate files to expire on a given date or after a time period (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Restrict files to run on any combination of IP addresses and/or server names (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Restrict files to run on specific MAC addresses (Cerberus edition).
• Integrate with the ionCube Package Foundry.
• Add readable comments to encoded files for custom copyright, license details etc.
• Have custom messages and custom handling when files expire or aren't permissioned to run.
• And more!
