Which Version?
As of Version 2.8 there is only a single version of the program. The single Ioncube version will run on both PHP 4 and PHP 5 servers.
Versions Prior to 2.8
There are 4 versions of the program.
The version you need depends on your server setup.
See: Check the Server to find your server information.
PHP 4 or PHP 5
Obviously you need to use the version that is on your
server. 4.x or 5.x. You should note that support for PHP 4 is coming to an end
and hosts should be upgrading to PHP 5 soon if they have not already. Don't
worry switching between versions is easy.
See: PHP 4 to PHP 5 for information on switching versions.
Zend or Ioncube
(Please note: As of version 2.8 there is no longer a Zend
version.)
If Zend Optimizer is installed on the server you
can use the Zend version or the Ioncube
version. If Zend Optimizer is
not installed you will need to use the Ioncube version.
If Ioncube is installed server-wide you do not need to upload the Ioncube loaders to use the Ioncube version. If it is not you will need to upload the ioncube folder to your account.
Ioncube Notes:
If you need assistance figuring out which version to use
contact support.
Please include the url to a phpinfo file on your server.
