Questions before ordering

About this service

The ionCube Encoder service is for preparing an encoded distribution of your PHP project. Unlike source recovery, encoding starts with your original readable source files. Describe the intended PHP runtime and deployment requirements so the project can be reviewed with the right context.

Is ionCube Encoder the same service as ionCube Decoder?

No. Encoding starts with readable PHP source and prepares protected files. Decoding concerns source recovery from files that are already encoded.

What should I provide with an encoding order?

Provide the source archive, project description and target runtime information. Discuss any special licensing or deployment requirements with support first.

Should I keep my original PHP source?

Yes. Retain your original source files and backups for future development. Check the delivered archive in your own environment before using it in production.
