php-installer-ioncube-sourceguardian

php-installer-ioncube-sourceguardian is a PHP script that automates downloading, extracting, and installing the latest IonCube and SourceGuardian loaders for PHP on Linux x86-64 systems.

It simplifies the process of enabling these widely-used PHP encoders' loaders by fetching the appropriate loader versions for your current PHP installation.

Features

  • Automatically detects your PHP version and thread safety (ZTS/non-ZTS).
  • Downloads the correct IonCube and SourceGuardian loaders.
  • Extracts and installs loaders to your PHP extension directory.
  • Generates .ini configuration files to enable loaders.
  • Cleans up temporary files after installation.
  • Supports Linux x86-64 architecture.

Requirements

  • PHP 7.x or 8.x installed on a Linux x86-64 system.
  • PHP CLI access with permissions to write to the PHP extension directory and PHP config directory (conf.d).
  • PHP Phar extension enabled (required for archive extraction).

Usage

  1. Clone or download this repository.
  2. Run the installer script from the command line:
php install_loaders.php

The script will automatically detect your PHP version and install the matching IonCube and SourceGuardian loaders.
