Initially, the ionCube Encoder compiles the PHP script to bytecode, a format that is used for its efficiency and high performance. Some hackers claim to be able to decrypt files that ionCube has encrypted. Zend Guard is another widely used option, which functions very similarly to ionCube by encoding. Wire Transfer. We have a website maintained by an old employee and it appears it's encoded by Zend Guard including all backups. I know a little about Zend Optimizer, but never considered it for source protection as I know in the end the bytecode will need to be decoded for the interpreter, and was sure people easily decode optimized files using some software.

Protecting PHP Code
With Zend Guard, you can encode and obfuscate your PHP code, to prevent unlicensed use and reverse engineering.
Zend Guard maximizes software profitability by:
- Limiting unauthorized duplication or use of your applications.
- Ensuring only licensed customers use your products — in a way that complies with your license.

- Preventing other people from changing your code.
Zend Guard supports PHP versions up through 5.6. Please read this blog for more information.
