- (Loaders before 4.4). These are from the previous
- Encoder release (7.0), and therefore do not have
- features that are new in the version 8 series of
- Encoders. The licensed software also includes
- obsolete Encoders from two major releases ago.
- Using Encoded Files - the ionCube Loader
- ========================================
- A free component called the ionCube Loader is provided to process encoded
- files. Loaders are available for many platforms, and with ionCube technology a
- widely used industry standard, many hosting servers have the Loader component
- installed by default. Where it is not pre-installed then depending on the
- web server configuration, a user can either easily install it themselves, or
- otherwise server administrators / hosting providers would usually do this
- if required.
- Two tools are provided to assist with Loader installation from
- http://loaders.ioncube.com. A Windows program called the Loader Installer is
- recommended, which can deploy a Loader to a remote server using FTP or sFTP
- and make the necessary changes to a php.ini file. An alternative is a PHP script
- called the Loader Wizard. The Wizard will indicate which Loader package and file
- are required to be installed, and advise on the PHP configuration changes.
- Loaders can be downloaded from http://loaders.ioncube.com
- To get a Loader setup for yourself, use the Loader Installer or simply install
- the Loader Wizard script (loader-wizard.php) onto a target web server,
- point your browser to the script and follow the instructions.
- What Next?
- ==========
- The User Guide PDF will guide you gently into the product with some simple
- examples, and then covers all the available Encoder options in detail.
- Other topics such as license file creation and an API in the Loader are
- also covered in later chapters. For a quick reminder when using the Encoder,
- running it with the --help option will give a summary of all available options.
- We hope you enjoy using and evaluating the product, and we can be contacted
- via our Support Helpdesk if you need assistance at http://support.ioncube.com
