Is there a way to obfuscate PHP code with Ioncube without encoding it?
I.e. the code is just obfuscated and it can be executed without the ioncube loader?
I am not 100% sure but I remember it was possible with an old version of Ioncube and now (v. 8.3.2) I can't find the way to do it: I still have an obfuscate option but it seems it always work in addition to encoding
It seems that it is not possible and it has never been possible to obfuscate only: http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?p=10797#10797
