What is Ioncube?
ionCube Ltd. is a software company based near Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom. ionCube was founded in 2002 and introduced tools to protect software written in the PHP programming language from being viewed, altered, and run on unlicensed computers.
Or you can understand more simply that ionCube Loader is a PHP library used with files encoded by ionCube Encoder software. And in many cases when installing software, you will receive a request that “ionCube Loader is not loaded. Please enable it to continue installation“(ionCube Loader doesn’t work, turn it on and continue the installation). Because I install Softaculous requires ionCube, I conveniently write this article Installing Ioncube into DirectAdmin.
