IonCube
What precisely is IonCube? Why is it present on almost any present-day server running PHP?
A lot of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encode their files in order to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you intend to set it up in a website hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader must be present on the server. Without having it, you won't be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't work properly since almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web application. If you get a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.
