IonCube is a popular php encryption software, it costs money and requires servers to have their software on them for the code to be able to run: http://www.ioncube.com

 

The other option is to look up and see if there are any other alternatives for encrypting php files. Here is a list of different encryption options: http://www.seocompany.ca/software/free-encryption-software.html

 

Hope that helps.

Dear marlonbtx,

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I have decide to use ioncube, the php.ini file should specify the correct loader. After that it will works.

 

Thanks and regards
