Is ionCube PHP Loader installed?
The ionCube Loader is a PHP extension often used by setups such as WHMCS - it decodes PHP scripts that have been encoded by the ionCube PHP Encoder. Without this, the scripts cannot be read and so the sites that use them cannot run, so it’s important to know what areas of our hosting have this included.
The availability of ionCube can differ between PHP versions. ionCube Loader’s development skipped PHP 8.0 as outlined in their blog post here. As such, it is not available on this version, but is available on PHP 8.1 instead.
As our Web Hosting packages support PHP versions 5.3 and above and our Wordpress Hosting packages support PHP versions 7.0 and above, this means they will have ionCube Loader available.
If you need to change the PHP version for your site, please see this guide - https://www.uk2.net/knowledgebase/article/how-to-change-php-version/
Note: As above PHP version 8.0 does not have ionCube Loader as this version by skipped by their development team
