ionCube PHP Encoder 加密軟體可保護 PHP 程式碼，避免隨意讓人觀看、盜用或改編。 Pro 和 Cerberus 版不僅可控管何處執行 PHP 碼，也能設定讓檔案具有一定時效性，一些像 XML 的非 PHP 碼，一樣可以被加密。

ionCube PHP Encoder 推出三種版本：Basic / Pro/ Cerberus，皆含有編譯性的PHP碼，用來使位元組碼難以讓人辨識，再加上有附加的非PHP檔加密功能。 Pro 和 Cerberus 版本則另外包含了 PHP 授權特性，限制何處、何時可執行該程式碼，授權的模式相當簡單且具效率。

The PHP Encoder 支援 Windows、Linux、FreeBSD 和 Intel OS X。全數版本皆含指令列工具用於編碼，在 Pro 和Cerberus 版本中還能製作授權檔，對於想要自動處理程式碼的開發者，該指令列工具可說相當好用。

Windows 版的編譯器有容易使用的 GUI，除此之外，在 Windows Pro 和 Cerberus 版中，還附贈可製成 Linux license 的產生器，讓在 Windows 下使用PHP碼的同時，也能產生授權檔，限制在 Linux 網路伺服器上，何處可執行PHP底稿，使其得到徹底的保護。

ionCube Encoded 檔可用於多種不同的平台，包括 Linux、Windows、FreeBSD…等， 其他像從 PHP 4 到最新的 PHP 5.6 都有支援。

Encoding Benefits

PHP scripts can be easily read, changed and run on any PHP enabled system. Encoding PHP offers important benefits.

Product Developers: protect and license your code before distribution. Time restricting is ideal for protecting evaluation copies, and server/domain based locking helps secure revenue from multiple domain deployments.

Website Designers: protect your creative work and a revenue stream from future script updates.

Enterprise Customers: successfully enforce internal change control policies by avoiding untracked software tweaks that may get lost on a site reinstall or server move.

Website Owners: hide sensitive data and protect scripts from unauthorised changes that may go unnoticed indefinitely, and be a serious security and data protection risk.

功能

With the ionCube Encoder, you can...

• Protect PHP scripts with compiled bytecode for best performance and protection.
• Use optional encryption keys that are not stored but generated only when needed (Dynamic Keys). Our unique feature gives greatly increased protection over alternatives that store a decryption key in the protected file or that do not offer encryption at all.
• Produce encoded PHP files to run on PHP 8.1 and earlier.
• Use PHP language features up to PHP 8.1.
• Encrypt non-PHP files such as XML and templates.
• Generate license files to restrict access to encoded files (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Enable one way transformation (obfuscation) of variables and function, method and class names.
• Encode PHP shell scripts.
• Prevent file tampering through use of digital signatures.
• Prevent replacement of encoded files by others.
• Generate files to expire on a given date or after a time period (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Restrict files to run on any combination of IP addresses and/or server names (Pro/Cerberus editions).
• Restrict files to run on specific MAC addresses (Cerberus edition).
• Integrate with the ionCube Package Foundry.
• Add readable comments to encoded files for custom copyright, license details etc.
• Have custom messages and custom handling when files expire or aren't permissioned to run.
• And more!
