View source for Installing ionCube

First thing is that you have to download the program from the [http://www.ioncube.com/loader_download.php loader download] page. (.zip) 
<br />
If still using PHP 5.0.0 - 5.0.2, download the PHP 5 loaders at the end of that page rather than the top ones. Do not download the bottom ones for PHP 5.0.3+!

== Installation ==
# Uncompress the package using WinZip or any other uncompression software.
# Copy the ioncube_loader_win_'''X.X'''.dll to your PHP extensions folder. <br /> ''Note: The X.X stands for your PHP version number!''
# Navigate to /usr/local/php/ and edit the php.ini file and add this line before any other zend_extension line (there should be none if you have not installed it) <pre><nowiki>zend_extension_ts = /usr/local/php/extensions/ioncube_loader_win_X.X.dll</nowiki></pre> ''Note: Make sure '''X.X''' is the same thing as your PHP version number!''

== Finalization ==
# Restart the server.
# Copy the ioncube-encoded-file.php file into your /www directory.
# Test it and see if it works.
