Install ionCube
This example uses PHP 7.0.13. Please be aware if you are installing ionCube for a different PHP version you will need to use a different ionCube file version (dar_5.6 instead of dar_7.0) and install to the corresponding PHP version directory ( phpXXX instead of php7.0.13 ).
- Download the OS X (64 bits) tar.gz version of ionCube.
- Unpack ioncube_loaders_darx86-64.tar.gz. In your resulting “ioncube” directory there will be several files. Copy only the ioncube_loader_dar_7.0.so file to “/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.13/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012”. The ioncube_loader_dar_7.0.so is good for all PHP 7.0.x versions.
- Add the following line to your PHP 7.013 template file. You can reach your template files in MAMP PRO through the menu bar, File > Edit Template > PHP > 7.0.13. Be sure this line is above all other Zend directives.
zend_extension = /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.13/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/ioncube_loader_dar_7.0.so
- Restart your servers in MAMP PRO.
- To verify ionCube is loaded use your php.ini file. You should see the following in your php.ini file.
