IonCube Loader is an instrument, which is needed to run files which are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an app that is used to make PHP code human unreadable, to protect it from reverse engineering or unauthorized usage. Plenty of script-driven apps, especially message boards, content management systems and e-commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore when you get a script and you find that ionCube is one of the web hosting environment prerequisites, you should ensure that your hosting server has the tool pre-installed.
